The examination period can be a stressful time. To help students cope, the University and Students’ Union have a number of events and support services on offer.
Your Personal Academic Tutor – your primary point of contact with advice and guidance on academic work and progress.
Students’ Union Advice Centre – the team provides students with free, independent, confidential advice and representation in a friendly, relaxed environment. The Advice Centre can be found on Level 3 of Building 40 on the Highfield Campus.
Nightline – the listening service run by students, operates every evening in term time from 20:00-08:00.
Peer Support – talk with fellow students in person about whatever is worrying you.
First Support – the University service if you ever find yourself in a crisis.
Residences Support Service – available to help all student residents between 18:00 and 08:00 every day of the week at all Halls of Residence sites.
Lastly, there will be a number of workshops arranged by the Enabling Services team that address exam stress. Details can be found here.
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 on Tuesday 12 January. In the past few years the zoo has had animals from donkeys to ducks.
We wish our students the best of luck in their upcoming exams, and we hope these support services will be of help in the next few weeks.
