With what feels like never-ending dark mornings and a long stretch ahead to Easter, we understand that bouncing back after the festive break is easier said than done. While we hope you found space to relax and recharge for all-important semester 2, we know for some of you the reality would have been more mark schemes and revision than mince pies for Rudolph.<\/p>\n

But never fear!<\/p>\n

To help switch that study-mode back on and get your critical-thinking cogs turning again, we\u2019re running a January campaign in collaboration with Student Wellbeing\u00a0<\/strong>jam-packed with informative and inspiring workshops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
