Ok, deadlines are around the corner and exams are looming so don’t worry if you’re feeling stressed, you won’t be the only one (we promise).

At The Union we want to help wherever we can and make sure you’ve got everything you need to smash your exams and assignments.

So, here’s your study survival kit from The Union:

🌟Space galore

As of Tuesday 6 May, The Union’s third floor will be transformed into an extra study zone for all students. There’s group study space in rooms 6 & 7, as well as silent study in room 8—and there’s no need to book—so just turn up and grab a seat in whichever space suits your study style.

This is all additional to our Study on the second floor—one of the rare places with a printer!

☕Fuel up

Next to our Study on the second floor, we’ve got our Heat & Eat station in The Union Living Room. This is your go-to place to take a break, make a brew and heat up your food.

Speaking of food—if you forget to bring your lunch don’t worry! The Shop on the ground floor of The Union has all the microwavable meals you could need. Not to mention they have Tanpopo’s Katsu Curry too. Plus, they’ve always got loads of deals on.

And of course, we can’t forget Boundary, where you can grab a coffee to wake you up or a pint to wind down after finishing that essay. The Sal next door does loaded fries too if you're hungry!

😵Stressing out? We’ve got you

If your to-do list is looking scary, try not to panic. We’ve got a drop-in session on Tuesday 29 April, where we’ll help you plan your study time, get organised, and basically feel like a functioning human again.

During the session you'll be able to get help to sort out your study schedule and finding the best resources.

Again, no need to book in just turn up anytime between 16:00 – 20:30 on the day.

💛The Advice Centre

Our Advice Centre is available to you all year round with free and confidential support, including during the exam season.

Here are some of the most common things students ask about:

• Extensions
• Evidence Extensions

The team there will do their best to help you, and even if it isn’t something they can help with directly, they’ll make sure you find the right service.
