The end of the Autumn Semester at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ is a welcome break for students at the School of Law, who have worked incredibly hard over the past weeks on coursework and preparation for exams. Some of our students will be heading home or to family or friends' for the holiday period, but many choose to stay here in ºù«Ӱҵ. Whether you stay completely local and explore everything the city's bustling independent food and drinks scene has to offer, or travel further afield into the beautiful peak district or on daytrips to nearby UK towns and cities - we hope you have a restful but enjoyable break.
