You can find out much more detail into the support that is available to you, hear from students what they think about the services, learn about our student wellbeing ambassadors and much more here.
Student Wellbeing Ambassadors
We have dedicated Student Wellbeing Ambassadors who are currently studying with us. They receive specialist training to provide one-to-one support across campus.
They can assist with specific practical support, including getting around campus and using assistive technology. They are also available to help with note-taking and support in practical sessions.
Hope this helps and do let me know if you have any further questions 🙂
Best wishes,
^Zac
