Information about GDPR

Have you heard about GDPR? It’s the new data protection regulation that will start on 25 May. As a student, there are one or two things you will need to know, especially if you are using personal data in your dissertations.

The regulation contains rules on how personal data should be used and these apply to all EU member states. The purpose of this new law is to strengthen the rights of the individual in terms of personal integrity.

We have collected information on:

• Personal data processing, including a nine-step user’s guide
• What GDPR is and what it entails. We will be updating with more information on how you as a student will be affected by the new regulation.
