Wherever in the world you plan on studying from, we’ll be here to support you – from helping you look after your wellbeing to making sure you have easy access to all the software you need.

    Academic support

    Whether you’re a recent graduate or entering further education for the first time, we know that starting postgraduate-level study can take some adjustment. If you need any guidance, we offer a range of different services to help you make the most of your programme. 

    Academic skills

    Turn to our Academic Skills Unit (ASK) for 1-to-1 tutorials and resources to help develop your writing style, manage assessments, and approach coursework. 

    Faculty support

    Each faculty has dedicated tutors who can offer guidance to help you build new course-specific skills plus strengthen your current abilities. For example, MSc Cybersecurity students can turn to our Faculty of Technology.

    Faculty librarians

    Though you may not be able to travel to our on-campus Library, you still have access to a wide range of Library resources. Our faculty librarians are available to guide you through these online services and help you find useful reading material.

    Additional support and disability advice 

    Our Additional Support and Disability Advice Centre (ASDAC) provides confidential support for all students with additional learning needs. Some examples of the assistance ASDAC offers include: 

    • Advice on funding to cover disability-related support costs such as the Disabled Students’ Allowance and degree apprenticeships. 
    • Access to specialist study skills and strategies tutors, as well as assistive technology tutors, on a 1-to-1 basis or in groups. 
    • Discussion and agreement on reasonable adjustments for your time on the course. 
    • Advice on notetaking, mentoring, and other support services. 

    If you’re comfortable doing so, please get in touch with ASDAC as soon as possible after accepting your offer. This will give you and the team more time to work together to prepare for the start of your programme.
