Welcome to Wobble Week 2024!
Wobble Week is here to support students during that crucial period when stress, uncertainty, and the challenges of a new term begin to emerge. As the initial excitement of the academic year starts to fade and reality kicks in, it's common to feel a little out of sorts. Our events are designed to help you navigate this "wobble" by connecting you with vital resources and support services with our Study Skills Team, Wellbeing Team, Careers & Enterprise Team, Student Advice Team, International Students Team, and our Students Union. Join us to gain valuable skills, build resilience, and connect with a community that understands. Remember, you’re not alone—it’s perfectly okay to wobble!
As Wobble Week unfolds, we have a variety of events lined up to help you strengthen your academic skills and foster connections within our community. Starting on Saturday, 2nd November, and ending on Monday, 11th November. Sign-up to each event using the hyperlinks below!
