An AI Has Successfully Applied to Become a Student at a University
Amid ongoing debates surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its role in the arts, an Austrian university has admitted an AI as an official student in a world first.
The non-binary AI, dubbed "Flynn," has been enrolled in a digital art programme at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
Flynn went through a standard application process, including a portfolio submission, interview, and suitability test.
You Can Find Today’s Trends in Charity Shops, Say Fashion Students
People studying De Montfort University's fashion communication and styling course teamed up with Age UK for a styling event using clothes donated to the charity.
The clothes were worn by models who were photographed around the city. Their work can now be seen in the window of Age UK's shop in Hotel Street, Leicester.
Age UK said it hoped the project would encourage a younger generation to value recycled clothes rather than fast fashion.
Fraud Experts Brought in Over Student Loan Allegations
The education secretary has asked counter-fraud experts to lead an investigation into reports millions of pounds in student loans are being claimed by people with no intent to study.
It follows a report in the Sunday Times which says it found evidence of some individuals enrolling on degree courses at small colleges just to access loans, external, with no intention of paying them back.
The UK's student loan debt currently stands at £236.2bn.

Take Care of Your Health
Physical and mental health are just as important as academic success. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and exercise regularly. University can be stressful, so don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or campus counseling services if you're feeling overwhelmed. A healthy body and mind will help you perform better in your studies. Read More
Manage Your Time Wisely
University life comes with a lot of freedom, but that also means more responsibility. Create a schedule that balances classes, studying, social activities, and rest. Using a planner or digital calendar can help you stay on top of deadlines and avoid last-minute stress. Prioritizing tasks and setting realistic goals will make your workload more manageable.
