Health and wellbeing
How to stay fit and active on campus, as well as resources and services to support your wellbeing.
The College, along with the wider University, is committed to developing a working environment and practices that help maintain and improve staff and student mental and physical health.
There are opportunities across all campuses for staff and students to incorporate physical activity into their working day and bike parking for those who like to cycle to work.
