Virtual events and activities to take part in this week: Student Experience

Whether you are self-isolating, or just staying in more during the lockdown – we know it can be tricky to find things to do to keep busy!

The University has been working closely with Liverpool Guild of Students to make sure that there are lots of covid-safe activities available for you to take part in, try out something new, and meet fellow students.

Each week we will round up some of the best virtual events and activities you can enjoy – this week we’re bringing you the best activities designed to enjoy outside your course, to enrich your ‘student experience’.

Please remember that if you ever feel like you need support or advice, our Student Support team is here for you. If you’re self-isolating and need help, email Student Services on: advice@liverpool.ac.uk.
