University isn't just about attending lectures and studying and that's why Personal Development Week on 22-26 January has been introduced.
What is Personal Development Week?
This is a week which provides time aside from your studies to enable you to try something new and develop your skills - from enhancing your employability and preparing for a career, to trying a new social or sports activity or getting involved in volunteering.
When is it?
Personal Development Week is for all undergraduates and runs from Monday 22nd to Friday 26th January 2018.
What's planned?
The are lots of events planned for students at Christ Church and you can see the whole list here plus we'll be promoting our own events too.
