Advice Team

At the Guild, we recognise that some students may need access to specific help and resources to ensure their University experience is as great as possible. Within the Advice service there is a range of support offered to our underrepresented students, which includes those who are estranged, care leavers, asylum seekers and refugees, and those with caring responsibilities. We are here to help you - check out what is offered below.
