Your Student Support Team
For advice on extensions, interruptions, special circumstances applications and degree programme transfers, as well as other study-related issues.
How we can support you
Your Student Support Team in the School of Health in Social Science offers support on those aspects of student life that are outside programme and course content.
We can direct you to resources, services and support within the University and local community and advise on University regulations and processes. These include coursework and programme extensions, degree programme transfers, absences, interrupting your study, and withdrawing from your degree programme.
If you have questions about any aspect of your time at university or the resources available to you and are not sure who to ask, please do get in touch! If we do not have the answers, we will find out, or direct you to the right people.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your studies, or your circumstances are preventing you from studying, we would encourage you to contact us or your Personal Tutor as soon as possible. The sooner you let us know, the more options and resources are available.
If you need to speak with your Personal Tutor and they are not available, let us know. We may be able to help.
