Every Wednesday afternoon, campus comes alive with events, workshops, socials, and activities as part of What’s on Wednesday (WOW). Whether you’re a first-year finding your feet, a returning student looking to try something new, or just need a midweek break from lectures, WOW has something for everyone. It’s the perfect opportunity to get involved, meet new people, and make the most of your time at university.
Advice on Tour
Our SU Advice team hits the campus every Wednesday to bring support directly to you. You can stop by for quick questions about student life, accommodation, finances, or anything that’s on your mind. For more sensitive matters, they’re also available for confidential chats and guidance. It’s a relaxed way to get help and feel supported, all without needing an appointment. Don’t worry if you’re feeling unsure — it’s completely normal to have questions at university, and our team is here for you.
Activities and Workshops
WOW isn’t just about advice – it’s a chance to get creative, active, and social. You might stumble upon:
- Craft sessions: Try your hand at painting, DIY projects, or seasonal crafts.
- Live music: Enjoy performances by student musicians and bands.
- Board games and quizzes: Join in for a bit of friendly competition and laughs.
- Society drop-ins: Meet society members, find out what they do, and maybe join a new club.
- Food and drinks: Pop-up stalls often appear, offering snacks, drinks, and sweet treats to enjoy while you relax.
