You are more than…Your degree. Your thesis. Your portfolio. Your placement.
Your Students’ Union have a number of events running throughout January to support you during the exam period:
- A Chill Out Hub will be set up in the Concourse where students can relax, play games and enjoy.
- Yoga and relaxation classes will be held to help students de-stress and re-focus.
- The always popular Petting Zoo shall be returning. In the past few years the zoo has had animals from donkeys to ducks.
We wish you the best of luck in your upcoming exams, and we hope these support services will help keep you going through the next few weeks.
