It is with great sadness that the University, and its School of Law, reports the death of Katharina Rupp, a final year undergraduate law student, who died during the Easter vacation while back in Germany, her home country.

Helen Toner, Dean of Students in the School of Law, said:

Katharina was a valued member of the community in the Law School and she will be sadly missed. Katharina was thinking about post graduate study in the area of human rights and equalities, something she felt very strongly about."

If, following this sad news, anyone would like to speak to someone at this time, there are a number of support services available. The Student Support Services website gives more details or you can contact Student Support on 024 76 575570, ext 75570.
