Support and wellbeing

Health and wellbeing - a Unibuddy blog

As a university student, students will experience many changes in their lifestyle. There is a lot more work to do, including seminar work, reading, assessments, revision, exams etc. Some students are faced with moving away from home. Whilst all of this is going on, it is important to look after one’s health and wellbeing.

There is a large variety of support available to students. Advisors are on hand for students with a disability or learning difficulty and offer services including tuitions, specialist mentoring and the loan of study equipment.

A professional counselling service provides individual and group sessions, while workshops and online peer support groups are also available to participate in.

The Student Support Centre also offers advice and support for international students, as well as information on scholarships, bursaries and accommodation. There is also an onsite Medical Centre and pharmacy, making it easy for you to visit a GP. Over at the Student Union, there is an Advice and Support team, who are available to call, email or visit.
