Student news

Each year the Oxford University IT Services department runs a short survey to better understand the IT requirements of current students.

This helps us make sure that the services we provide are able to meet those needs. 

The survey takes less than five minutes to complete and closes on Friday 6 December 2019.

After this date, one lucky entrant will be randomly selected to win a £100 Amazon gift certificate.

Lincoln College student, Sasha Gill, is a professional photographer, cook, and writer – who also happens to be studying Medicine at Oxford.

Sasha’s first book ‘Jackfruit and Blue Ginger’ (Murdoch Books, 2019) is a recipe book about some of our favourite Asian foods, made vegan.

Sasha, who is half Indian and half Eurasian, was attracted to vegetarianism as a teenager for health reasons, and has gradually cut all animal products from her diet for environmental reasons.
