Festival of skills and wellbeing

Welcome to GREFest Winter

GREFest Winter is our festival of skills to welcome you to the start of the new year. Whether you’re studying from home or staying with us on campus,  you’ll be able to participate in our interactive sessions.  There are plenty of useful, informative and fun sessions to support you whatever your academic needs. Our festival is packed full of events to support you as you begin your university journey.

GREFest Winter: How does it work?

GREFest is designed to help students at all levels get the most out of the coming university year.

Here you will find live sessions where you can meet students just like yourselves and start making friends, tutors and librarians who are ready to support your studies, as well as wellbeing experts and members of the Students Union. All of our live events are accessible online using Teams.

What students say

A snowflake resting on a tree in a winter landscape

  This was absolutely brilliant! I'm so glad even though it's online a lot of fun can still be had.

  These sessions have been really helpful when trying to settle into uni life and the new technology that was going to be used  

  Loved the interactive sessions - they helped me to learn and gain confidence.  

A lantern covered in snow in a snowy landscape

  It's been more than 8 years since I last sat in the classroom, so these sessions will definitely help me with my academic skills and easy writing which am nervous about at the moment. So thanks for such help.  

A cat ready to pounce in a snowy scene

  Loved all the interactive bits of the session and the relaxed feel of the people presenting - felt more engaged as a result.  

A red cardinal bird in a snow covered tree

  Really helped to learn to use the Portal and to be able to get advice as a mature student.
