Our vision is to enhance our inclusive, caring and supportive community to enable our students manage any issues that affect their ability to study and develop a better student experience.

The Mental Health & Wellbeing team is an important and essential part of this offer and comprises of expert mental health and wellbeing staff, providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space in which our students can discuss and seek support for any issues that may be affecting their ability to study.
