By means of our various channels, we keep staff and students informed of news, events and developments at UM and we ensure that the correct and most up-to-date information is made available.
Newspoint, the UM news portal, provides staff, students, alumni and the general public news on activities and developments at the University. We include notices that are of special interest to UM staff and students, as well as opportunities to participate in a wide range of events and research projects. Contact us if you would like to share your news across UM and include stories, forthcoming events, and announcements (together with good-quality photos/images/videos) on the UM news portal.
