Health and Wellbeing

At its best, University life is rich and rewarding, but all of us go through difficult times or have circumstances that can affect our studies.

The University has a range of support available for students including the Students' Association's Advice Place, the Chaplaincy, the University Health Centre, the Student Disability and Learning Support Service, the Student Counselling Service and Wellbeing Advisers.

If you find yourself struggling due to illness, an accident, bereavement or any other issue, the Student Support Team and your Student Adviser are available for help and support.

You can find out more about other types of support including the Institute for Academic Development (IAD) and English Language Education on our Study Skills and Support pages.
