Student Services are based on all three campuses, offering impartial advice and guidance to help you make decisions about your education and training or choice of career. We will also support you with issues with your health, travel well-being, finances and studies.

We offer support to students within all curriculum areas to ensure that they are given equal opportunities to achieve success in their studies. We have timetabled study skills sessions where our Progression Specialists offer their expertise and strategies and all teaching staff are made aware of support needs to adapt lesson materials and content.
