The Student Experience Coaches
Whether you are planning for resits; working to earn some money; taking time to relax and recoup; spending time with friends or family; or seeking out new experiences and places – or perhaps a combination of all these things, the summer holidays are here to make the most of.
This can be an opportunity to reflect on your achievements, consider areas of growth and plan your next steps. For those of you graduating from UWE Bristol we want to wish you many congratulations and all the best with your future journey.
We’d like to share our tips from across the Student Experience Coaching team and from our coaching sessions with students on how you can make the most of this break.
- Bring in some structure and routine into days when you don’t have anything planned, this will support your wellbeing after the intensity of the last few months of uni.
- Connect with others; learn and develop new skills; be in the present during your day; enjoy moments of kindness with others and spend time being active, ideally outside.
- Get to grips with the UWE year ahead, perhaps when a placement might be happening, modules start etc. This way you can feel prepared and not on the backfoot.
- Check out the support on offer at UWE on our website and think about what you might want to tap into for next year.
- Explore opportunities for volunteering or ways to develop your skills. Dust off your CV and use the Careers Toolkit to practice for interviews and grow your employability skills.
- Spend some time away from technology and engage in creative hobbies and activities.
And finally, book a Student Experience Coaching session to plan and manage your resits, your next year or your future. We can meet online or face to face and we’re here all Summer!
