From academic pressure to money worries and loneliness - it’s easy to feel overwhelmed at university. Identity crises, discrimination, and global concerns can make student life even tougher to navigate for the 2.3 million students currently studying in UK universities.
In partnership with Move Imperial, we are running a Stress Less campaign to help you unwind and de-stress this exam season!
Studying for and sitting exams can be a stressful time, however, regular short bursts of exercise can go a long way to improve mood, aid better sleep and reduce stress. Any type of physical activity will have a positive impact on your mood and wellbeing. It doesn’t have to be very intense or time-consuming, even a short walk in between study blocks will help, and walking can be a great form of moving meditation.
In October, the Union discussed the issues surrounding the FIFA World Cup hosted in Qatar and the conflict with our organisational views. We agreed that Qatar's deplorable abuse of human rights and treatment of minority groups does not align with our values.
We are showing the FIFA World Cup 2022 in our venues as we know that a large number of our members want to watch and support their national teams compete in the competition, and want to do so in our venues which are operated for them. We also recognise that the hosting of the tournament in Qatar is controversial and has raised significant criticism internationally.
