Supporting our students

The 2020/21 academic year might look a little different from usual. But don't worry, we're still committed to providing you with the same level of support, the same great opportunities, and the same high-quality education, just with a few changes to keep you and our community safe and secure.

Lockdown may be a tough time for some students, so we're launching our new Keeping in Touch phone call campaign to help you look after your wellbeing.
