As a journalism student in my final year I have many fears. The main one is getting a job when I finish especially with the fragile state of the industry.

This years student elections saw a record-breaking turnout!

The student body has spoken in record numbers to elect the six Student Union representatives for next year. 

After two months of auditions, UCLan’s most gifted students get a chance to show off their talents in the final of UCLan’s Got Talent.

CANDIDATES APPEAR IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
Name: Kirsty Styles
Year: 2           
Course: BA Journalism
Position Running For: Chair of Student Council
Why are you running for this position?
I’m quite surprised that I’m running uncontested. However, I want to represent the student body, give something back to my university, hold all of the people in power accountable and try and get some stuff done!

10 UCLan students have been diagnosed with the Mumps virus, causing the university to start hosting vaccination clinics. 

You could be forgiven for not noticing we’re actually slap bang in the middle of FairTrade Fortnight.
 
Events have been taking place across campus and Essentials have revamped their display of FairTrade products. But it seems the majority, myself included, are turning a blind eye and opting for the cheaper, familiar brands, regardless of how they were produced.

Wigan Warriors Rugby League Club has secured a two year sponsorship deal with the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) for the 2009 and 2010 Super League seasons.

Let’s start at the beginning… a joke, according to my trusty dictionary is:
1.  funny story: a funny story, anecdote, or piece of wordplay that gets passed round and repeated
2.  something funny said or done: anything said or done to make people laugh
dressed up the dog in a hat and sunglasses as a joke
3.  funny event: a funny event or circumstance, or something to laugh at
4.  something inadequate: somebody or something that is laughably inadequate or absurd (slang).

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman… And so the joke goes. But the ‘gags’ sent from 118-118 to a student at UClan, Kameron Abbass, were not about one of these entrenched, playful British sterotypes, they were two, about Asians, and Pakistanis.
