What is FITZ+?

FITZ+ is a range of activities, open to all, at all stages of your academic course, to help you get more from Fitz. 

Study. Life. Careers.

The programme of talks, workshops and conversations are designed to support both undergraduate and postgraduate students, whatever stage you're at, and whatever you want to do. We will work through core skills, offer targeted support in areas identified as particularly useful each term, and create a space in which everyone can ask for what they need.

Take a look at our Fitz+ resource page which has upcoming events, useful information and resources from previous events.
