Study Happy Week is here to help you explore and develop a healthy and happy study-life balance.
Study Happy Week is an annual campaign, which runs the end of October (sometimes sneaking into early November) as your busy welcome and induction period comes to an end and you’re starting to settle into University life. We know this can be an overwhelming time of year, particularly for those who are new or returning to Higher Education (HE) study.
Perhaps you are starting to research and write your first assignment, or even embarking on topic exploration for your final dissertation or research project. Whatever stage you are at it is never too late to study healthier and happier!
