Teams from ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and East Anglia faced off earlier this week – with ¹û¶³´«Ã½ scoring a 275-125 win! Well done to the team, made up of captain Oscar Siddle, Ananya Govindarajan, Thomas Hart and Benjamin Watson. Want to watch the winners in action? Catch up on BBC iPlayer – and keep an eye out for the team’s upcoming return to the show!

Come along to see the café in person, try some fresh food, and make use of our daily offers. You can even reserve space for meetings!

This month we're celebrating a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Wonder winner who’s increasing participation in maths and inspiring school-age students to consider maths in higher education. Let’s hear it for Fiona Kitchen, from the Mathematics Institute!

We’re excited that from this week, you’ll be able to access more than 20,000 expert-led courses through LinkedIn Learning. Look out for your Welcome email with everything you need to get started.

What truly makes our research outstanding is our people. We’re highlighting your curiosity and innovation in a creative and unexpected way - look out for our new campaign on insite and in the media from next week, including a video featuring some favourite campus sights reimagined!
