We aim to ensure you feel as happy and confident during your studies as possible. Should you need to discus any aspect of student life, the University’s student services team are always on hand to help, and can provide guidance on issues such as how to open a UK bank account, managing your finances, and finding places to practise your faith.

There is also a dedicated welfare officer at the Centre to offer practical information, advice and guidance on any personal issue that may be affecting your studies. You can either make an appointment with the welfare officer or go along to one of the regular dropin sessions held at the student residences. No matter how large or small your problem may be, there is always someone available to help and advise. See a video from our Welfare Officer in the left hand column.
