Self-help resources

People say university is the best time of your life, but it's not always easy and can come with emotional challenges of its own.

Whatever you're going through, there's help at hand. Make the most of the self-help resources below and reach out to us for support.

You may also want to speak with your Student Support and Guidance Tutor (SSGT) who can discuss any personal or academic worries or struggles with you.
