Some students may find that adapting to life in the UK and studying at University is a considerable challenge. Staff at the Student Counselling and Student Advice Centre are available throughout your university career. The centre is staffed by trained professionals who provide confidential help on a wide range of issues including how to cope with personal, visa and financial problems.
Legal advice is available weekly by appointment.
Accommodation Finding suitable accommodation can be difficult, so all undergraduate Overseas students who have received an unconditional offer to study at the University will be guaranteed University accommodation, during their first year of study. To take up this offer you will have to make an application and send a deposit to reach the University by the third week of August. The University has a careers service which is concerned with providing advice on planning your career after you leave University. It contains a library of major employers and also keeps information on part-time job vacancies and vacation work. The centre staff are able to give you advice and treatment of on-site medical emergencies, health counselling, health promotion activities, and advice about ill health that may worry you.
