The sick bay is used by students who become ill and cannot be cared for in hall or lodgings, but who do not require hospital admission. Students pay a small fee at the beginnng of the programme for this facility. Welfare Service Being a student demands energy, time and organisation and you may need different kinds of information, advice or help from time to time to support you while you are studying. Each of the four centres of De Montfort University has a welfare officer who can advise international students on topics such as grants, money management, immigration and nationality legislation, work permits and employment rules. You can discuss these issues with someone who is impartial and trained to help you to understand your situation or make a decision.
All discussions are confidential.
The religious support offered at DMU tries to reflect the varying faiths of a community of around 28,000 students. Christian chaplains are available at all centres and will work to answer the needs of all students, irrespective of their religion. They will also be able to put you in touch with a representative of your own faith or denomination. Many faiths have active student societies which provide opportunities for combining worship and social activities. The Chaplaincy and Centre for Religious Studies is based in a recently renovated building at the Leicester City Campus.
