Student Services
Many of our Student Services can be found in King’s Gate, a dedicated Student Services hub in the heart of campus. Our Student Engagement Team on Level 2 (opposite the Students’ Union building) will be able to answer your questions directly or signpost you to specialist colleagues. Some examples of the services you can access include:
- Appointments with specialist teams (pre-booked, drop in and on line)
- Student registration
- Issuing smartcards
- Advice on self-service portal and document production
Further information can be found on the Student Services webpage or, if you wish to explore other services offered by the University, please visit our When you Arrive webpage.
