University of Cumbria

Your student experience means everything to us. We want you to not only have the best time at university, but to feel that you're always being supported.

That’s why our expert teams are on hand to assist you with all aspects of student life, from wellbeing services to professional learning opportunities, cost of living support, careers advice and more.

Our Students’ Union (UCSU) is also here to represent and support all of our students. It's their goal to make your experience a memorable one, be that making friends, joining a group, or enabling you to have a voice on campus.

For all your study needs, we have our fantastic on-campus libraries with dedicated teams available to help you get to grips with new learning and study approaches. We have a vast collection of both physical and digital resources, meaning our library is available 24/7.  

If there's an area of university study that you need more guidance on, our Skills@Cumbria team can support you with workshops and 1-2-1 appointments.
