As part of the programme, we've also scheduled a series of one-off interactive presentations on Monday evenings during Term 1 that will give students a chance to find out more about resources for personal development that are available to them at the University, including presentations on the work of Student Support and Welfare and an information and advice session on Managing Finances.
