Student wellbeing is a primary concern at the University;  and we hope to create an environment which is conducive both to your academic study and to your own health, wellbeing and personal development.

During your time at University there are many opportunities for you to explore a wide range of activities, perhaps for the first time, as well as opportunities to enjoy a social life which is suited to you.

The Student Union and the University work together to enhance your wellbeing:

  • you have personal tutors within your academic school who will help you with any academic issues
  • there are study skills sessions to assist you within the learning environment
  • peer guides are existing students who will help you to settle into university life during the first few weeks of term
  • student support services within the Student Support Services Centre and the Student Union Advice Centre can assist you with specific queries or concerns
  • our professional student counselling service is completely confidential
  • a team of hall wardens provide support for you within halls
  • a crisis team of staff can assist students who live in the private rented sector
  • we have a jobmart which can help you find part-time work, and hardship funds to provide some extra financial support if you are having difficulties
  • we have special student health facilities at our local GP practice
  • a wide range of clubs and societies offer a variety of opportunities to explore individual interests - you can set up your own club or society if there is not one already
