I thought I would send you an email to say thank you for inspiring me to join Twitter yesterday, it is something that I knew I needed to do but I had slight reservations about it. It is also clear that I have been missing out on things by not being on twitter. Many thanks for your help, it will clearly be a very useful resource.

Looking after your wellbeing

This masterclass is aimed at Post Graduate Research (PGR) students to provide a snapshot of strategies and tips that you can use to look after your wellbeing.

We understand that as a PGR student you may be faced with challenges throughout your course both academically and personally; juggling study with work or family commitments, stress surrounding future career choices or pressures of a financial nature for example.

The session will provide you with advice on how to manage some of these and other challenges that may arise during your Post Graduate course. You will come away with a range of practical tools and resources that you can use to remain motivated, productive and that can help you to manage competing demands.
