\"screen-shot-2016-11-21-at-11-14-20\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are organising a retreat for our final year students between 23rd and 25th January 2017 with all sort of activities. The retreat is free of charge<\/strong> and includes 2 days and 1\u00a0night in the lovely YHA South Downs<\/a> near Lewes. All food and accommodation\u00a0will be provided. The hostel is 200 metres away from Southease Station with links to Lewes, and it also has free parking spaces for those with a car (transport not included).<\/p>\n

We have created a programme full of activities that range from employability (CV writing, presentation & interviewing skills, and 1-2-1 CV drop-in sessions) to well-being (procrastination & mindfulness), which will be facilitated with the help of\u00a0the University Careers Centre and external consultants.\u00a0This will also be a\u00a0great opportunity to meet faculty in a more informal environment. We have arranged sessions focused on how to do a dissertation, from data collection to writing up, which will be very helpful for your next term.\u00a0Some former students will come and talk about\u00a0what they are doing now, and how studying psychology at Sussex has helped them. And there will be time for fun too! We hope you like murder mysteries…\u00a0\"000345_south_downs_lounge_002\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
