Students are blooded at the 'house of crime'

Article Abstract:

The University of Central Lancashire uses an house, innocuously called Cow Pasture Cottage, to help teach students on its forensic science courses. The house, which is located on the university's Newton Rigg campus, is regularly made up with blood smears, semen stains and fingerprints which the students must analyse using the correct forensic procedures. The university, which boasts one of the UK's leading forensic science centres, uses the house to test the evidence gathering abilities of its students.

...think the NHS should do more for students with mental health problems

Article Abstract:

There are over two million students in higher education and it is estimated that one quarter of them will experience some form of mental problem during their time at university. While the majority of universities already have mental health policies in place, there is only so much they can do and in order to properly cope with student mental health problems then some sort of collaboration with the National Health Service is vital.
