Student Support and Guidance Tutors

COVID-19 update: Drop-in and telephone support has been suspended for the time being. You can, however, email your SSGT to ask for telephone or video support.

SSGTs are an invaluable source of information and advice, working to provide relevant and timely assistance on a range of issues that might be impacting your studies.

SSGTs are available for all students, including those who are undertaking postgraduate study. You can find their contact details below.

Self-help resources, including Big White Wall, are also available.

How SSGTs can help

SSGTs are part of the Student Services department but work within schools alongside academic staff, meaning that information is only shared with schools with your permission. The Student Services statement of service (pdf) contains more information about confidentiality.

SSGTs can help to advise on issues such as:

homesickness / loneliness
problems with accommodation
problems with adapting to study – particularly for mature students
difficulties with your course / wanting to intermit or change course
stress-related issues
mitigating circumstances, applications and processes
bullying and harassment.

They can also direct you to specialist services across the university.
