We know that studying, whether it's lectures, coursework, revision, tests, or any other type of academic activity, can be a huge source of stress for students, especially during exam season. Therefore, we are launching this campaign to support and help you in taking a break and improve your overall wellbeing while you study.

This campaign will feature several activities such as social media takeovers, study and relaxation tips and more.
