Student Services
Student Services listened
Better mental health support
We have made good progress in developing a more diverse team and have increased the number of counsellors to our Advice and Counselling Service.
Improved Disability and Dyslexia screening
We have improved student access to our dyslexia screening questionnaire to streamline our processes.
Shorter waiting times
We have recruited more mental health and disability advisers, meaning shorter waiting times and more appointments are available.

More privacy for users of the Disability and Dyslexia service
We have moved the Disability and Dyslexia Service to a quieter area of Bancroft Building with a confidential, private waiting room for students.
More early enrolment slots for new students
