Support and careers
You can count on us to be by your side to support you and help you to achieve your career goals.
Support and wellbeing
Our support services are there to ensure you get the best from your postgraduate studies.
Boosting your skills
Your personal tutor or supervisor will help you prepare for postgraduate study. You can also explore our online resources or talk to one of our academic skills tutors. If you’re a mature student and you’ve been away from education for a while, we can help you get your skills up to speed.
Access for all
You can get specialist support through our Student Wellbeing Service if you have a disability, specific learning difficulty, mental health condition, long-term medical condition, or personal issue that may impact on your studies. Our STAART ambassadors have faced similar challenges and can share their own insights on studying at the university.
You’re our top priority
Our campus security teams and resident assistants are here for your safety and protection. You can also download our personal safety app, Safezone.
Keeping healthy
Signing up with a doctor is easy. You can join our medical centre if you’re at Avery Hill, or we can help you find a local practice.
Always by your side
Our counsellors, mental health and psychological wellbeing coordinators and chaplains are there to support you.
Your career matters
Our expert advisers are here to help you, whether you want to break into a new profession, get promoted, or land your dream job.
Benefit from specialist advice
Map out your career plans with our employability team, who are trained to provide you with the advice you need as a postgraduate student. Through one-to-one sessions, mock job interviews, workshops and more, our experts will equip you for your career journey.
