The Life Tools programme is a series of free talks designed by experts to help you transition into university life and enhance your student experience. The programme allows you to be proactive and take control of your learning, personal and professional development.
Take a look at the Life Tools 2023 programme to find out what topics are coming up. To find out more about the programme, listen to the Life Tools introduction video, or watch the video at the bottom of this page.
This year Life Tools will be delivered online (via Teams, but you can sign up on Blackboard) and on-campus, allowing as many students to attend as possible. Most webinars/talks are around 45 minutes in duration, including time for questions about the topic. The programme is open to all students. Once enrolled onto the Life Tools programme, weekly emails will be sent on upcoming webinars/talks.
Life Tools is also on Twitter and Instagram (on Thursdays). Follow for talks, expert tips and advice.
