Student Services
Student Services offers advice and support to ensure that your experience as a student is successful and fulfilling. Our services are available to undergraduate and postgraduate students of any background, protected characteristics, or stage/mode of study.
The advice and support we provide empowers students to take an active role in managing their student experience. We encourage all students to develop a sense of personal responsibility for all aspects of their wellbeing. We promote individuality, open-mindedness and critical thinking, while respecting the diversity of our community.
Student Services provides advice and support in the following ways:
- Advice and Support Centre (ASC), an information centre for students
- Support plans for students with disabilities, including specific learning difficulties
- Life and wellbeing advice
- Counselling and mental health support
- Financial advice and support

Where appropriate we link in with external agencies in the local community.
