INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

In most cases you will find that your research supervisor or departmental graduate tutor can provide direct help with any academic issues, and can also provide information about UCL's more specialised facilities and services covering academic, practical and personal matters. UCL's Dean of Students (Welfare) co-ordinates all aspects of student welfare, and has considerable experience in providing confidential help and advice. The Dean is supported by a team of specialist advisers including an Adviser to Women Students.

If you have a problem that is causing you to feel worried or distressed, you can book an appointment to talk, in confidence, with a professionally qualified counsellor. In addition to one-to-one advice, the service also runs workshops on concerns common to many students such as dealing with stress, confidence-building and making presentations.
