Student Wellbeing

Students are at the centre of what we do. We aim to provide support and understanding in all situations. Our staff are not counsellors but will direct students to the best place for help and put in place support in the department as available.

Support is available from the Counselling and Mental Health Service. This service is made up of University staff who are all qualified and professional mental health practitioners. This includes the College Wellbeing Officers, who are part of the Service but reside in offices within the Colleges, and the Counsellors and Mental Health Advisors, who are based in our central office within University House.

Within Sociology you can contact your subject personal tutors (or PhD supervisors) if you are experiencing any problems affecting your studies and they will signpost you to the appropriate place for help.

The Counselling and Mental Health webpage has a variety of resources and links to external organisations. This includes details on Student Space, a coronavirus specific resource developed by UK student mental health charity Student Minds.
