Welcome back
Welcome back to Birmingham. We hope you had some time to rest and recharge and are rearing to go for another semester. Make sure to check your timetable via the MyUoB app which you can also access on desktop.
January assessment period
Many of you are busy working on assessments right now. Whether these are your first assignments at university, or you’re working through your final year, exams can be nerve-wracking.
Browse our UoBe Ready intranet pages for study resources including a downloadable study planner and workshops, as well as student advice, study spaces and more. The Academic Skills Centre’s Assessment Support Hub also contains lots of useful guidance on preparing for exams, revising effectively, and managing your time.
You can find your January exam timetable on the MyUoB app.
Study Spaces
Looking for somewhere you can snack while you study? Or a place you can find plenty of power sockets to charge your devices? Is it a quiet zone you’re after, or somewhere more suitable for group work? There’s lots to think about when finding a study space to suit you on campus. Check out the study spaces at UoB.
