Student News

Welcome back to another eventful week.

This week we are finally starting to see some decent spring weather! It's a great time to enjoy outdoors at least by heading outside to study.

As semester two is drawing to a close, consider taking a moment to plan and organise your revision. Being prepared when exams are near will bring lots of confidence.

On a final note, Ingenuity is happening next week. If you haven’t booked your free tickets yet, this is your chance.

Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health Awareness month will draw to an end next week. Taking care of your mental health and wellbeing needs to be a regular habit for all of us, even when we feel like there is no time for self care.

Next week, stop by the Co-op at Hub Central for daily wellbeing events, including ‘Ask Anything’ - a chance to have your questions answered by the wonderful University Counselling Team.
