Learning Cafes
-893x520.jpg "Students in the Graduate Centre")
The Learning Cafés are an open and informal space designed to facilitate stimulating debate, critical reflection and awareness whilst discussing a range of topics, interests and issues; you’ll get to meet others on your course and from within your School.
It’s a great way to build friendships and community whilst learning. You’ll get the most out of them by attending the series of events in your school, but if you can’t, just attend as many of them as you can, it’s all extra provision and contact time for you, to support your learning journey with us.
If you have any questions please contact your School Office.

SSSC
In the School of Social Sciences, our Learning Cafes provide a fortnightly opportunity for new students to engage with academics and fellow students in a more informal setting than in regular classes. They provide a forum in which students can ask questions which have arisen during their studies, seek study skills advice and receive guidance relating to their assessments. They also provide a means of further developing our academic community within the school. The cafes can be attended as standalone and one-off events.
We'll be adding more events shortly.
