Student Welfare is located in the Student Services Hub on the 4th Floor in Castle House.We provide support in an impartial and confidential manner, along with information regarding counselling options and free support services.

It is normal to feel anxious in certain situations such as starting college, or sitting your exams. If you are anxious or feeling down we are here to help.

If you would like to make an appointment please e-mail Student Services or call into Maria Hunt, our Student experience Officer with responsibility for Welfare and Support, in the Student Services Hub.
