Student Life

Your first point of contact with the Student Services team for info, advice, guidance and much more. 

Your Student Life team

We know it can be difficult to find out what support you can access at uni, or even who you need to speak to about it.

The Student Life team is here to point you in the right direction if you need support with a disability, want to talk about your mental health, if you’re unsure about your money and finances, and much more.

We can provide one-to-one support, book you in for an appointment with the team, or signpost you to other services who can help you, either externally or within the University.

We’re always happy to have a chat and give you the information you need – get in touch via our contact details.
