Student Life Team

The Student Life Team are responsible for enhancing your student experience and access to Personal Tutoring and Peer Support. It is at the heart of everything we do!

You can get involved with events and activities throughout the year - highlighting key days of importance, awareness-raising days, and fun and interactive activities. With your feedback and participation, we ensure your campus remains a vibrant and safe space to be.

We work with academic staff to enhance your personal tutoring experience and access to support resources, from academic support to mental health and wellbeing. We also work with students to develop Peer Mentoring and Support networks. Providing you with pastoral support and signposting to the University’s specialist services.

We ensure all of our students feel a sense of belonging at the University, by listening and acting on your feedback. Your voice will be heard during your time as a student - from the Undergraduate Experience Survey (UES), to the Postgraduate Taught/Registered Experience Survey (PTES/PRES)! Your voice matters to us at every stage of your student journey.

If you are passionate about Environmental Sustainability, the Student Life Team will be here to listen and build on your ideas to create a more sustainable campus. You will have the opportunity to be involved in creating and organising Environmental Sustainability events, initiatives and projects.

The Student Life Team works collaboratively across the University with services such as Life Lounge, Sport and the Students Union.
