Cash prizes totalling £6000 will be presented to the winners of a draw organised as part of a survey of student support services at the University of Dundee tomorrow (Thursday May 11.)

More than 1000 students took part in the survey led by Dundee University Students’ Association and the University’s Student Services department.

DUSA President Lianne Bibby, who will be presenting the prizes, said the survey was held to find out how many students use the support services, what they thought of them and what the future provision should be.

Students completing the survey were given the chance to enter the draw which offered a top prize of £1000, four second prizes of £250, 10 third prizes of £100 and 150 runners up prizes of £20.
