Wellbeing support

Our resources page offers support and advice

Request wellbeing support

Our team of Student Wellbeing Advisers are placed across the academic schools, and they are here to support you throughout your student journey. 

They are here to provide confidential advice, guidance, and signposting to any student who may be experiencing difficulties with their wellbeing. They can help you with understanding what support is available within and outside of the University, and what the best next steps might be for you. 

How can my Student Wellbeing Adviser support me? 

  • Being a confidential listening ear for you to talk about factors impacting your wellbeing. 
  • Advising you on your best next steps if you are struggling with a personal difficulty. 
  • Recommending practical resources to help you improve and maintain your wellbeing. 
  • Helping you understand and access support within our Student Wellbeing services. 

They can also provide guidance on: 

  • Accessing assessments for specific learning difficulties. 
  • How to obtain medical evidence and claim reimbursement for the cost. 
    • How to arrange a Student Support Plan (SSP) with our Disability Team. 

How do I contact the Student Wellbeing Adviser for my school?

The best support I had at university was from my Student Wellbeing Adviser. They gave me hope and direction, and most importantly, helped me feel ok talking about what I was going through.
