Are you a mature student, a student with caring responsibilities or a care leaver? Would you like to know more about the support that’s available to you within the University and beyond?

New in April 2016: Individual Support appointments

If you are a mature student, a student carer or a care leaver we are now offering Individual Support appointments with an Adviser to give you a space to talk briefly to someone about your situation, discuss any issues or concerns and identify sources of support as needed.

These appointments are also a great way to help you identify opportunities, services and events to help you make the most of your time as a student.

If you would like to find out more about this support or to book one of our Individual Support appointments then please visit the Student Services Reception at Owen Level 5 City or Heart of the Campus Collegiate. Alternatively you can call 0114 225 3813 or ask a question online.
