Student support services

Student services

The Information Centre is the single point of contact for all student support services, by phone, online chat, logging calls or visiting any of the four campus libraries. The Centre can help with library and course support queries and give general advice on money, wellbeing support, accommodation, visa issues, disability support, student funding and many other aspects of student life. If the Centre cannot help, it will refer you to the right person.

Health and wellbeing

Your health and wellbeing means everything to us. Our team provides confidential, flexible services, such as one-to-one counselling and online support and self-help. It is available for booked appointments or drop-in sessions.

We also have an on-campus NHS doctors surgery at Penrhyn Road, available to all students. Our NHS surgery offers a range of wellbeing services and low-cost complementary therapies including: aromatherapy, massage therapy, osteopathy, reflexology and sports massage.

Faith and spirituality

We love that our students come from many different backgrounds, cultures and faiths. We have a variety of faith-based student societies you can join and multi-faith prayer spaces for you to use on campus. Our dedicated faith and spirituality team offers support, whatever your beliefs, and can help you find places to worship in the University and in the local community.
