Where can I find support?

By QMResLife 16 Oct 2023

Student life can be tricky at times, learning to balance academic work with your social life and all that's going on around you may feel overwhelming at times. 

The first thing to remember is that it's completely normal to feel this way sometimes and many of your friends will also have times like this too. On 14 March (University Mental Health Day) we are reminded that the best way to improve students' mental health is to come together and communicate more about it. That's why, should you feel the need for support, there's a range of resources out there to help all year round.

Course Support Officers 

How can they help? Every School and Institute has a dedicated student support contact who can offer advice on matters you feel may be impeding your ability to study.
