Wellbeing, Disability and Mental Health
UCL has a team of expert wellbeing, disability and mental health advisors who provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, in which you can discuss any issues that may be affecting your ability to study.
Departmental Mentors
We recognise that female PhD students are in the minority in our department, so Prof. Karen Page and Dr. Nadia Sidorova act as mentors to these students. They can be contacted any time for informal discussions as well as running occasional events.
