We hope you’re looking forward to some time off over the Christmas period. The University will be closed from Wednesday 21st December until Tuesday 3rd January but there is still lots of support available to you.
You can find information about all the activities, events and services available during the Christmas closure period on the Student Experience Directorate website.
