Beckett List

Hello ,

Regardless of what the weather decides to do this week, Spring is now officially here!  Welcome to your last week of teaching before the Easter holiday.

Beckett List is taking a short break for Easter. We'll be back with more news and events on Tuesday 10 April.

We hope you have a lovely break and for those of you planning to revise or work on assessments - good luck.

Hack of the Week

"The new reuseable cups you can buy in the university food courts, campus shops and coffee bars are great. It only costs £5.50 to buy a cup and you get your first hot drink free and then 10p off every hot drink you buy after that." - Esme McQue, BA (Hons) Business & Management
