Summer Services for MA Students
As we move into the summer period, we wanted to share a quick update about how we’ll continue to support you during this time.
From May onwards you may notice there are some changes to our building – our undergraduate students will have completed their exams, the building will be a little quieter and many of our services will operate differently.
So, ahead of your third trimester over the Summer period we wanted to share with you what to expect over this period and how we are still here to support you throughout – as well as offer some guidance on how to get the best from your experience and signpost you to the best advice support available.
