World Space Week

This week is World Space Week! Celebrate and get involved with our collection of resources including a social media Q&A with Warwick cosmology researcher Dr. Elizabeth Stanway, a look at what our astronomy and astrophysics researchers are getting up to, and tips on how to get into back yard astronomy! Take part.

Face coverings for essential academic activities

Face coverings are a really vital part of our community effort to keep safe on campus. Essential academic activities such as seminars and inductions, where you need to attend to participate fully in achieving learning outcomes, may take place in essential settings such as timetabled teaching rooms or optional settings such as conference centres. When taking part in these activities, we ask you to wear face coverings and keep 1.5m social distancing. Thank you.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing for study

Wellbeing is an important factor in cultivating a healthy approach to study, and our Wellbeing Support Service has a catalogue of self-help resources to help with issues such as procrastination, perfectionism and motivation. More specific resources on time management, managing deadlines and managing stress may also be helpful as you begin the new term.
And remember to take time out for relaxation.

Best wishes,
