I prefer to work in my favourite study spaces on campus and around the city. I tend to book a study room in the Library, or go to Church Lane, where there's a range of amazing study spaces and a Starbucks!

You’ll be part of a community that wants you to achieve your best. Be that through sessions at the skills centres, working together with your coursemates, asking your lecturer to clarify things you’re unsure about, or checking in with your supervisor if you need more support.
