Our You Are More Than campaign is back for January 2019! We have lots of activities planned, including free exercise sessions, and the best news of all… the Hearing Dogs are back! You can also grab some free soup and take advantage of our study and chill out spaces.

Studying is important but we would like to encourage everyone to keep your study habits healthy – this means remembering to take lots of breaks, eat healthily, exercise, and look after your mental health.

Meet the Hearing Dogs

Tuesday 15 January, 10:30 – 14:00

Meet the adorable hearing dogs and chill out in their company! We’ve partnered with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People for a number of years to run this fantastic event, and we’re pleased to confirm that they will be back!

Meet the dogs on the Redbrick (in the case of good weather) or on the Concourse of the Students’ Union (Building 42) (in the case of poor weather)

Please note that the availability of the dogs can change at the last minute, and as such any timings are subject to revision.

Study Spaces

Monday 07 January – Friday 25 January

Meeting Rooms 2 and 5 (Building 42) and Meeting Rooms 6 and 7 (Building 40) will be available every day during normal Union opening hours for studying. Revision tools, tips and snacks provided!

Chill Out Space

Monday 07 January – Friday 25 January

Bar 2 (Building 42) is becoming our very own chill-out space. Featuring bean bags, comfy blow-up chairs, fidget games, oil bubble lamps, free fruit, cute plants and fairy lights. Come and use the space to chill with friends, play some card games or have a well-deserved nap to the sounds of relaxing music.

Soup Giveaway

We will be giving out free hot soup each Thursday during the exam period (Thursday 17 – Thursday 24 January). Perfect for those winter study sessions!

Soup will be given out on the Concourse of the Students’ Union (Building 42). We will also only have a limited supply of soup, so be sure to get there early!
