Our service
The Wellbeing Service is here to support all our students and to provide support for you if you are applying to study here. We also provide advice for friends, family or staff members who are supporting students with wellbeing needs.
Our University is an inclusive community and our aim is for everyone to feel safe and welcome. We work together to provide the best service possible, which includes reviewing our provision to ensure it best meets your needs.
