Student support

The School has dedicated Student Support and Wellbeing (SSW) team to support you with your welfare.

The SSW Advisors offer support with a wide range of challenges you may face, including:

  • personal or family issues
  • physical health or mental health issues
  • advice regarding mitigating circumstances for assessments
  • financial support, including applications to the Hardship Fund and much more.

SSW Advisors will listen to your concerns, discuss your options and ensure you are connected to appropriate support from programme and University services. Most students use the SSW service at some point during their time on the programme, and the SSW Advisors have vast experience helping students cope with difficult situations.

Everyone needs help at times. Seeking help is a sign of strength and insight, so please let us know if you need support by either emailing or calling us using the details below. You can also visit us at the School of Medical Sciences Student Support Hub in the Stopford Building (ground floor).
