Each member of our team has different specialisms, but we all offer support for a wide range of issues including:

Staying on course with your studies
- Get help from Stay on Course if you are a student
- Refer a student to Stay on Course if you are a member of staff
Changing your course once you have started studying
Managing stress
Difficulties with anxiety and/or depression
Issues with flatmates/accommodation
Homesickness
Personal difficulties
Gender based violence
Peer support

We will, of course, refer you to any specialist help within the University or externally as required.

The Student Support team aims to offer the appropriate support and referral for all students.

Students not currently resident within the UK and requiring mental health assistance are advised to contact local mental health resources or services within your country as we are unable to refer you to those services.
