Supporting our students

We are aware that the transition from school to university study can be quite daunting, so we offer excellent support to our students through our Student Support Services.

This includes helping students with academic progress, managing their time and finances, settling in generally, or adapting to living away from home.

Our Disability Services are committed to developing an inclusive environment for all students, and we welcome enquiries from prospective students with specific learning or physical disabilities.

This can be initially highlighted on the UCAS application form. Our Disability Service will then contact the student to discuss individual requirements. For more information visit our Student Support section.
