Whilst some are having to get used to working from home, for students lockdown has completely transformed our learning environment and daily routines.

The current situation with coronavirus means many people who are normally office-based, have now found themselves working from home. This comes with its own unique challenges. Being at home means it’s more important than ever to make sure we’re
