Last week we launched our annual survey, and there's still time to get involved! Warwick SU exists to provide a wealth of services to the student body, from Welfare to Food & Beverage outlets. We simply couldn't function without your input and support – that's why we're looking for YOUR feedback on how we deliver our services. Help Us, Help you! The survey can be filled in online or paper copy, all answers are completely anonymous and it only takes a few minutes.

Are you happy with the time you get to spend with academics? Would you like more or less seminars or lectures? Want to make your voice heard? You still have the opportunity to express your views by filling in the Time's Up Survey!

To make change at Warwick, we first need evidence, so the aim of this survey is very simply to identify whether you are satisfied with the time you get to spend with the academics on your course. It’s for undergraduate and postgraduate taught students.

The survey will be completely anonymous, but at the end, we will have collected data that can be broken down by year and course so that your SSLC representatives can make the case for you to get the education you deserve. All you need to do is login in to the SU website and fill in the questions on the screen. The questions are focused on your current level of contact with academics, so answer for this year only, and equally please be as honest as possible.

Help a postgraduate research student to improve their career prospects and gain confidence in their teaching by nominating them for a teaching award. Don’t forget in a few years’ time it could be you that is teaching.

Nomination is by a brief online form and all undergraduate students who nominate will be entered into a prize draw for a £25 book token. Nomination deadline is Mon 13th May.

Your PhD student teacher may be involved any teaching activity such as running seminars or problem classes, supervising projects or lab demonstrating. Nominate them now!

This week, we are giving out free drinks diaries in the SU. Take one and keep track of all that you drink throughout a week, and make sure that you are keeping healthy. You can also download the diary here.

Ever wondered how Academics juggle work and a home life? How they got their first break? What influenced their career path other than the offer of a great job? How may grants or fellowships they applied for before they got their first one? Well the “WIS An Evening With…… Science Career Success Stories” speakers hope to help answer some of these questions. Places are limited so please go to warwick.ac.uk/WomenInScience to sign up by 20th March 2013.

On 10th May 2013, Monash and Warwick Universities will jointly host the first Monash-Warwick Conference of Undergraduate Research. The conference will be a 24 hour event staged concurrently at Monash University in Australia and Warwick University. Current undergraduate students across disciplines will be invited to showcase the fruits of their research experiences, through spoken and poster presentations.

Students from both Monash and Warwick will present research in joint panels and via virtual posters, to audiences from both universities. Three Monash students and two Warwick students will also be selected to receive a full stipend to fly to the UK and Australia respectively to present in person. There will be prizes for the best spoken and poster presentations and successful presenters will be approached to submit their papers for publication in the refereed undergraduate research journal Reinvention.

As an undergraduate research conference the event will hope to include all sections of the university. Papers and posters should be based on research undertaken whilst an undergraduate at Warwick either as part of a module or outside the curriculum as an independent research project. The closing date for abstracts to be received for the event is Friday 15th March 2013.

The International Office is delighted to inform current undergraduate students of an exciting opportunity to apply for one of two Chinese Government Scholarships offered to the University of Warwick by the Chinese Ministry. Each scholarship provides registration, tuition (at a Chinese university), comprehensive medical insurance and accommodation for the academic year 2013-14. Living costs in China, the international air fare and transfers has to be paid by the successful recipient. No prior knowledge of Mandarin is required.

You should discuss your intention with your department prior to submitting an application.

The deadline for applications is Friday 29th March (Good Friday). Applicants should complete an online application form, where you can select field of study and give three preferences of institution in China and upload complete with university reference (from your academic department).
