Student/Academic Support

Student Support

The diverse demands of the new environment make university life both exciting and satisfying, but it may also be stressful. The university faces a dilemma because of the availability of blended delivery and the large number of students who are still living at home, as they are aware that not all students interact with student services. Since students come from a variety of backgrounds, the university offers a wide range of assistance to ensure that everyone can succeed in their studies and enjoy their time there. The student life team is a great place to start if you need support or advice on a wide range of issues, so check the website for more information. This is true whether you are coping with challenging family circumstances, balancing competing priorities, or need support with an impairment or learning difference.

Academic Support

Have issues with your course? Speak to your friendly tutors, academic staff, or support staff if you’re having academic difficulties or aren’t enjoying the course to determine what you want to do. We are here to support you through university and to direct you toward your academic and professional objectives. Before making a decision, be sure to fully understand all of your alternatives. You may be able to modify your subject or take a semester off (LOA).
