We’re that helping hand and friendly face to ensure you make the most of your learning journey

We understand that taking your next steps in education can be an exciting, but also daunting, experience. Our friendly lecturers and support staff get to know you as an individual and provide you with a warm welcome to help you settle in.

We listen to you

Your voice matters, and if your learning experience isn’t going as you hoped then we’re here to offer support. Our counselling service staff are always happy to chat through any of your concerns and queries.

You can also participate in and share ideas for improvement with our Student Union, who help ensure your opinions and views are listened to.

Additional Learning Support

Our Additional Learning Support department provides advice, guidance and support for current and prospective students. If you disclose a disability or long-term health condition you will be offered an appointment to discuss your personal support needs.

We will work closely with you, your curriculum department and other specialist services to put reasonable adjustments in place for you.  We will write an undergraduate support plan for you and help you to apply for Disabled Student Allowance if this is appropriate for you. 

For more information take a look at our Additional Learning Support booklet.
