The Student Self Care Movement

The Student Self-Care Movement highlights that university isn’t just about your academic experience but how important personal development is as a student and that looks different for everyone.

What is it?

From the 7 - 22 May, as part of phase 2 of the Student Self Care Movement, The Union are supporting you and making sure you're supporting yourself through exam season.

There'll be free self-care bag giveaways across the whole two weeks, as well as motivational activities across campus and opportunities for you to chat with your Officers.

There'll be also be activity boards up across Brooks, Business School, John Dalton, Geoffrey Manton, Library 1 and 2 for you to find and add an inspirational quote to for your fellow students.

Student Self Care Podcast

No single university journey is the same, no matter who you are or where you come from. The campaign launches with the Your Development Era podcast, with our students sharing their good, bad and ugly stories; but most importantly, how they overcame all of the challenges faced in their university journey.

Thank you
