Help at all times

Your wellbeing is important to us. If you need help or advice on any wellbeing or welfare issue you can speak to one of our advisers.

We provide a welfare and wellbeing service to all students. You can talk to a Student Support Adviser about anything including:

  • adjusting to university life
  • feeling lonely or unsure about friends
  • problems in relationships with family, friends or partners
  • feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or experiencing panic
  • concerns for a friend
  • anything at all that’s bothering you

If you are an international student we can offer guidance on settling down to life in the UK.

The Student Support Advice Team are available every day including weekends and University vacations.
