We understand that transition to a university life is a big step, this is why here at our London Campus we provide range of services to help you make the transition into student life as smooth as possible.
Our range of services are here to support you achieve your full potential.
Whether you are an international student looking for advice or guidance on living in the UK, need additional academic support, are looking for employment opportunities or are returning to studies after a long period of absence, our services have you covered.
On campus, your first point of contact should be our Ask4Help desk, located on the third floor. Our helpful support staff can direct you to the right service.
We realise that alongside your academic life, you will be managing your day-to-day life, including money and budgets, living in a new city or country, and your relationships, friendships and family responsibilities.
The services that we provide complement those provided within your academic faculty. Your faculty is a very important source of advice and information about your course and studies. However, for many types of support – around disability issues, faith issues, counselling and mental health support, finance and funding, welfare issues and international student support – the University has also set up a range of central Student Life and Wellbeing services, to ensure that you have access to trained professionals with specialist expertise.
Our ACE Team is here to provide you with guidance on many aspects of academic life and achieve excellence in your course.
