The Advice Service is open throughout the year (excluding bank holidays and University closure days).


Whether it’s course-related, queries with accommodation or personal problems - we give you confidential and impartial advice. What’s more, it is free.

Independent of the University, we will listen, consider your circumstances and advise you on the best route to take. We will talk you through processes and advise you on how to put together the information you need, as well as reviewing it for you before you submit to the University.
