Have you registered for the Warwick Award yet?

At the start of term, the brand-new Warwick Award officially launched. The Award recognises and showcases all of the employability skills you’re building across your entire Warwick experience, to help put you in a position to make the best start to life after graduation. It’s free to join, can be personalised to match your own skills development and can be completed whenever works best for you during your studies. It’s never too early – or too late – to start reflecting on your own skills development, and the Warwick Award will make that task much easier. Head to the Warwick Award webpage to register.

Understanding Wellbeing Module

This HEAR Accredited module guides you to discover and better understand the crucial concept of wellbeing, exploring it from many different disciplinary viewpoints (from Biology to Philosophy, from Economics to the Arts). We also engage in activities and strategies that can improve our wellbeing, from physical exercise and art to mindfulness and many others. And, we look at what factors might be affecting our wellbeing, from social media, emotions, to dealing with failure. The module has been co-created by IATL staff and students to make sure that it can be accessible to all and work around University life. You can find out more here.
