Assignments, deadlines, and everything in between – it’s a lot. So let’s press pause for a moment and take a breather.

Study Break returns (and so do the alpacas!)
Study Break is here to help you recharge, refocus and reset. We've teamed up with the University to bring you a series of events designed to support your wellbeing and bring a little joy to your study routine.
From hands-on crafting workshops to moments of calm and connection (yes, that includes cuddles with real alpacas), Study Break offers something for everyone.
Free breakfast
Start your day right with free breakfast – we’re talking hot drinks, porridge pots and delicious Danish pastries depending on the campus you're studying at. Swing by between 8am and 11am, from Tuesday 22nd April to Friday 2nd May at:
- Preston - Harrington and Foster Refectories
- Burnley - Victoria Mill
- Westlakes - John Fyfe Building
