With exams beginning today, we wanted to wish everyone good luck through this season. We’ve got plenty of events, resources and refreshments for you, whatever stage you are at! Take a look at our Exam De-stress page for all of our events, revision tips and information including mitigation.
What's on:
Revision Clubs – we’ve got space set out in the Greenhouse(Devonshire House) and G48(South Cloisters) where you can find revision tools, wellbeing resources as well as snacks to keep you going through your study sessions!
Breakfast Club – start the day right with a free breakfast! And also some space to get a few revision tasks ticked off.
Quiet Study - join us in the Greenhouse for dedicated quiet space when you need to focus.
£2 Meal – don’t forget you can fuel up for less with a hot meal for just £2 at Cross Keys and Super Savour Kitchen (Devonshire House).
Resources for you:
Has something come up meaning you can’t attend, or have missed an exam? You will need to apply for evidence-based mitigation, and you must apply for mitigation within 24 hours of your exam. Find out more details here. If you are worried and want to talk to someone about your attendance at your exams, contact your Hub/Info Point.
Our friendly Advice team can also offer guidance and support.
