Student support

Three dedicated advisers looking out for you

In your first few weeks you’ll meet advisers who'll get to know your needs and interests – giving you a personal support service right through to graduation and beyond.

1. Your student support adviser gives you help and advice when difficulties arise that affect your ability to study. They can help you access specialist services when you need them.


2. Your academic adviser supports your academic journey and performance, helping you achieve your goals and guiding you through options for further study and development.


3. Your employability adviser helps you develop your career during and beyond your studies, from job searches and finding relevant placements to CV writing and interview preparation.
