Need a doctor? Health problems interfering with work? Need time off college? Health can play a large part in your time at university whether it be sexual health, mental health, physical health or emotional health. 

Money Matters

Our fully trained Advisers will cover all areas but we can often help with other smaller matters such as help with student loans, difficult banks, budgeting, any questions about forms and applications.

Pastoral Care 

With everything going on at uni you may just need an impartial but friendly face to have a chat with so pop in to the office and say hi, the door is always open!

Responsible Drinking 

We're not going to tell you NOT to drink  but only to be careful about how much you're drinking and what you're drinking!
