Did You Know?

What is Did You Know?

We want all of our St George’s students to have a great experience and get the most out of their studies and time at university.

In 2021, we launched the Did You Know? campaign for students, which aimed to:

showcase the broad range of support services and opportunities that are in place
raise awareness of the rich teaching and learning environment and resources that are available for you to utilise throughout your studies
encourage you to engage with student experience and engagement activities that you might not be aware of
celebrate the amazing achievements of the St George’s community.

This year, we’ve launched a new-look campaign to help raise students’ awareness of some of the amazing support, services and facilities that students can take advantage of, as well as highlighting the many ways in which you can get involved in student life at St George’s.

The Did You Know? campaign will also highlight a broad range of new enhancements and improvements underway, or recently completed, to respond to our students’ needs.

What we've done

Look out for Did You Know? content across our social media accounts, across campus and in our student newsletters.

You can also view our gallery below, which we’ll be adding to throughout the year; use the arrows to scroll through and read about a range of enhancements, facilities and services you can take advantage of as a student.
