Student handbook, policies and procedures

The purpose of the handbook is to provide information about all aspects of university life.

It contains information about the sources of help and support available to you, the sporting and social opportunities, the accommodation and leisure facilities and the key regulations applicable to all students.

We hope you will refer to it regularly, throughout your time at the RAU, so that you can take full advantage of all that the University has to offer.
