The University has a wide range of support services to assist you in settling within your course and university life:

• Academic-Advice

• Careers service

• Health & Wellbeing (Mental health support)

• Student's Health Service (GP)

• Disability Services

• Student Finances

• Anonymous Reporting Form

• International Students

• Estranged-students

• Multifaith-Chaplaincy (MFC)

MFC is accessible for both staff and students at the University from all faiths (and no faiths) & backgrounds. MFC has a welcoming atmosphere and is very resourceful. It has a large communal room, a fully furnished kitchen, and a quiet room for prayer. MFC accommodates for everyone. Many students are unaware of this facility and miss the benefits of this place, so I really do recommend you check it out, you will not regret it!

MFC is located just 3-minute walk from the Woodland Muslim Prayer Room!
