Everyone tells you that university will be the ‘best years of your life’. Which, for some people, may be the case: becoming properly independent for the first time; living largely by your own schedule; meeting new and exciting people; and studying something that interests you – with plenty of time for socialising in between! But […]
As our first trimester has rolled in, New Adelphi Theatre’s autumn and winter season has premiered, promising some incredible shows, cosy film screenings, and cheap comedy nights.

It’s no surprise to anyone that being a creative writing student and being a bookworm go hand in hand. My course, English Language and Creative Writing, involves a lot of reading both non-fiction and fiction but I am extremely grateful for it as sometimes it gives me a good reason to spend a Friday night […]
Student life can be quite hectic sometimes – juggling your workload, social life, commuting and any part time jobs or volunteering you might do on the side.

Deadlines are approaching. The library has basically become your second home and a can of Red Bull has become your holy water. Although studying is important, it’s always a good idea to take a night off and completely chill. Relax and de-stress. The Chortle Student Awards was definitely a night of much needed de-stressing for […]
The world of dance, especially ballet, can be perceived as an art only made for particular people and body shapes. Pittsburgh-based dance company Bodiography aims to break these conventions within ‘Dance with US’. The show held in the New Adelphi Theatre was a night of absolutely stunning pieces that told stories and even included incredible […]
A word you might hear pop up a lot during both your time applying to universities and whilst you’re actually there, is ‘dissertation.’ A dissertation can be defined as ‘an extended scholarly essay submitted for a degree or other academic qualification’ (OED, 1896) – yeah that’s right I just made a citation. You’re going to […]
Learning a language has always been something I have wanted to achieve. Unfortunately I have never had enough self discipline to commit to this in my free time. So finding out that I was able to learn a language during my studies and be credited for it towards my degree was an absolute dream! Just […]
“Are you ready to have your view forever changed?” Upon entering the New Adelphi Theatre for the show, aside from being supported by the LGBT Foundation and the play itself revolving around American poet Walt Whitman – I wasn’t sure what to expect. As the doors closed and the lights went down, the audience were […]

Religious or otherwise, staff and students from all walks of life are welcome at the Faith Centre.

The Faith Centre is a place to practice your religion, a quiet space to study, […]
