Support you can get in student accommodation
Studying a subject at university level and living in student accommodation might be two brand new experiences for you. Here’s an idea of the support that will be available in your student halls or shared house.
Supporting children from UK Armed Forces families (Service children)
If a student's parent(s) or carer(s) is serving as a Regular or Reservist in the UK Armed Forces, or has done so in the past, their experience of going to university may be different to their non-Service peers. This guide explains how you can practically support Service children along their journey to higher education.
Supporting disabled students
More than one in four students who apply through UCAS each year share a disability. Disabled students are entitled to reasonable adjustments to ensure they can access higher education, and they will find a variety of support available.
Supporting displaced students (refugees, asylum seekers, and those with insecure immigration statuses)
Knowing how to support displaced students can be challenging, especially if their immigration status is insecure or due to change. We have worked with expert organisations to clarify practical ways you can support displaced students' aspirations for higher education.
Supporting students experiencing parental estrangement
Young people who are considering higher education but do not have support from either of their parents due to a breakdown in their relationship (also known as being ‘estranged’) may encounter challenges in their journey. Here we outline the ways in which you can help students in at each stage and explain what support they may be able to access.

A carer is anyone who is responsible for providing unpaid care to a family member or friend who could not cope without their support.
