Student support

From the moment you arrive you’ll be given as much help and support as you need. From managing your budget, to mental health advice, there is a team of staff dedicated to making sure you thrive. The Peer Guide scheme and the Personal Tutor system mean that there is always another student or academic member of staff that you can turn to. Peer Guides are second and third year students who are trained to help new students settle-in to university life. Every student is assigned a Personal Tutor, who is a member of staff in your academic school. 

Our Student Services and Administration team provide a professional support service for students. The services offered include money advice, health and welfare support, advice on private housing, dyslexia support and counselling. There is also a dedicated Disability team to provide advice and guidance on a range of disability-related matters. 

The University's Teaching and Learning Support team offers one to one appointments, workshops and learning resources to help develop the skills needed to succeed at university. The Centre offers help with academic writing, maths and statistics, presentations, reading and research.
