Preparing for exams and working toward deadlines can be pretty stressful and exhausting, especially when nearing the end of the year, or even your time at university. 

The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) have a variety of events and activities designed to encourage you to take a break, get some breathing space, and hopefully lower stress levels during the exam period.
