Fridays@2 and Fridays@11
Fridays@n (where n = 2 or 11) is a series of interactive weekly sessions run during term time. The programme is designed specifically for undergraduate and masters students. The sessions are intended to help students to develop useful skills, to explore career possibilities, and to put their mathematics courses into a broader context. All sessions are held on Fridays in L1: those sessions that are targeted specifically at first-years take place at 11:00-12:00 (Fridays@11), while those of more general interest are held at 14:00-15:00 (Fridays@2). All sessions are followed by tea and biscuits in the South Mezz.
Upcoming sessions for Fridays@2:
 How do you efficiently look for jobs? How can you make the most of careers fairs? What makes a CV or cover letter stand out?   Get practical advice and bring your questions! This week's Fridays@2 will be a panel discussion focusing on what it is like to pursue a research degree. The panel will share their thoughts and experiences in a question-and-answer session, discussing some of the practicalities of being a postgraduate student, and where a research degree might lead afterwards.Careers event - Looking and applying for jobs

Upcoming sessions for Fridays@11:
 This session will look at how you can get the most out of your lectures and tutorials. We’ll talk about how to prepare effectively, make lectures more productive, and understand what tutors expect from you during tutorials. You’ll leave with practical tips to help you study more confidently and make your learning time count. This session will explore practical ways to manage your time effectively as a student. We’ll discuss how to find the right balance between revising and working on problem sheets, tools and strategies to help you plan your workload, and how to set realistic priorities. We’ll also talk about what kind of study balance makes sense over the Christmas break. Come along to pick up useful tips for staying organised, focused, and on top of your studies.   This session is likely to be most relevant for first-year undergraduates, but all are welcome.How to make the most of your tutorials
