'Fundamental and systemic failure'
A report into the data errors that allowed five final-year students from the School of Medicine to be wrongly passed or failed last summer has strongly criticised the School’s handling of assessments.
The investigation panel, led by Professor David Miers from Cardiff Law School, concluded that there had been ‘serious failings in the governance and management of data processing’ that required ‘urgent corrective action’ if similar mistakes are to be avoided this year.

Depression: a student experience
My name is Daniella. I’m a section editor for gair rhydd, I’m the president of a society with over 200 members, I have lots of great friends and I am doing well in my degree. I also tried to kill myself in my first year at university.
Are you paying attention?
The weather hasn’t been so good. Recently I saw a chap with a beanie hat, fashionably knotted scarf, cutting edge hoodie and a shoulder bag. Board shorts and flip flops made up the bottom half. Seemingly every climate was being catered for, apart from the one he was actually living in; it was raining.
