Student Newsletter Issue 2
Working and studying from home
Most of the UK has been now working from home since 20th March and many of us are starting to get into a rhythm of studying and working from home. However, as lockdown continues it can be difficult to maintain these healthy routines and keeping your studies up, especially if your exams have been cancelled.
We are all still finding new ways of working virtually and finding useful online tools, memes and platforms to help us focus, stay connected and motivated!
In this issue of SUN Stays in Touch, we will be giving you ideas of how to study from home and stay motivated until the end of term.
In the first issue, we talked about all things wellbeing as it is really important to look after yourself first of all, before you can focus on anything else! If you missed the first issue, click here to read it now!
