There’s so much more to being a student than doing assignments and getting your grades in. Being a student is also about meeting new people, making memories and finding out more about yourself – but it can sometimes be quite a lot to take on. Especially if there are a lot of new experiences coming at you. So ask for help. A bit of guidance, a helping hand, a listening ear. Get in touch with the Student Counselling Office.
Here to help
The student counsellors are on hand to help you with matters relating to your studies or personal circumstances. They can give you advice and information on finances, regulations and what you can do if circumstances mean you might be facing a delay in your studies. They can also support you when you’re have special personal circumstances such as a disability or chronic illness or if you combine your studies with informal care or a top-level sport. The aim is to work with you to find a suitable way of making your studies run as smoothly as possible.
You can talk to student counsellors about:
Studying with a disability
If you have some form of disability, you may benefit from having extra facilities or adjustments made to your programme. Get in touch if you have a chronic disease, dyslexia or dyscalculia, or mental and physical complaints such as diabetes, rheumatism, low vision, depression, ADHD, severe migraine and autism. View the brochure here and find more info here.
Finances
Get help from other students with questions about taxes, student loans, budgeting, insurance and the like. Get in touch with Fix your Finance to find out more.
Inclusivity, diversity, anti-racism and equity (IDARE)
Ask your questions, come for help, make suggestions and join in with activities to promote awareness.
Other personal circumstances
If, for whatever reason, you are not well or there’s a risk you may be facing a delay in your studies, then get in touch with the student counsellor's office. A student counsellor can listen to your concerns and help you decide whether and what support is needed. Talks with a student counsellor are always confidential.
