Student Focus, in association with The Times newspaper, is the nationwide student research programme on graduate recruitment. They're looking for final year students from an undergraduate or intergrated Masters degree at the University of Oxford who are researching their career options and applying for graduate jobs to provide feedback on their experience. Feedback will be completed in the form of questionnaires. 

As we're approaching the winter vacation, we wanted to highlight the welfare resources available to all students. All student welfare services remain open throughout the vacations (except the Christmas closure period), with some adjusted opening hours listed on each service's page. 

Next week's Fridays@11 session marks the final session for Michaelmas, and focuses on Effective Time Management.  

How can you balance revising with completing problem sheets? What tools and strategies can you use to plan your workload and set priorities? How much work should you be doing during the Christmas break? 

Come along to L1 on Friday at 11am, and bring any questions you have about how to manage your time most effectively. Hoping to see you there!
