Starting work or an apprenticeship can feel both exciting and daunting. There are lots of new things to get your head around, like managing your workload, communicating well, getting on with others, etc. So, it’s really important to look after your mental health and wellbeing at the same time.

It’s important to know what mental health and wellbeing support is available to you during your studies – and how to access it.

Mental health issues can affect any of us at any time. But do you know how to spot the signs if you, or someone you love, is struggling?

It's really important to tell your university or college about your individual needs as early as possible – this will ensure any adjustments and support are in place before you arrive.

On your UCAS application, you can share a mental or health condition with your university. This’ll help you get the information and help you may need while at university and help put you at ease.

Universities and colleges have teams in place to make sure students are able to get the right support for their individual needs. This guide will help you get the information you need to make an informed decision.

Students can access a variety of support to manage their mental health and wellbeing in higher education – ranging from help with a specific condition through to ways they can look after their general wellbeing.

Every year, over 100,000 disabled students (also known as students with special educational needs and disabilities, or SEND for short) apply through UCAS to study at a university or college in the UK – including mental health conditions, learning differences, and long-term health conditions. Students can access a range of support to help them succeed with their studies, day-to-day activities, travel, and lifestyle.

Having a disability or mental health condition might mean incurring additional costs (e.g. access to specialist equipment) when accessing higher education. But don’t worry, there is financial support available.

Learn how to support your mental health through stressful periods like exams.
