Introducing Fika: the mental fitness app to help you succeed

UCL has partnered with mental fitness app Fika during the COVID-19 outbreak, enabling our students to benefit from an additional tool to stay motivated, productive, focussed and connected during this period of remote work and study.

In response to the current situation, Fika has created a dedicated series of programmes allowing students to learn from expert psychologists, other students, academics and professional athletes in five-minute video, audio and text programmes.

These programmes are specifically designed to help combat the challenges of remote study and the mental health impact everything that’s going on. Programmes and audio guides cover topics including

• managing distractions and uncertainty
