  • Draw on the guidance and experience of your personal study coach 

  • Look after your physical wellbeing and keep fit, join a team doing your favourite sport or discover new sports with our student sport options 

  • Get advice on finances, disability guidance, diversity & inclusion and personal matters affecting your studies through our student counselling office
