Winter break is over, exams are underway and that means its nearly time for Spring term! Your Students Union likes to kick it off with Refreshers Week, and make it a good start to the term for all involved. There’ll be plenty of events and things on to help get you back in the swing of things, including Refreshers Fair, and some events brought to you by the Buddy Scheme! You can find a list of every event [here] on the Students’ Union website, but I’ll go over the Buddy Scheme ones below:

You can sign up [here], and it’s low commitment, with the minimum we ask being only one hour a week – what a great boost to your cv and a good way to make new friends!
