The Student Advice Centre is now closed until the 5th January
What is the Student Advice Centre?
The Student Advice Centre is staffed by professional advisors and they work closely with the welfare officer and the education officer. They offer confidential, free and informal information, advice and representation on a wide range of issues. They are a friendly bunch and it is usually best to make an appointment – although you can just drop in and see if anyone is free.

Steph Jones - Welfare Officer
Moving to university is a huge step and many students will need a bit of support. If you’d like to talk to someone who can offer advice from a student perspective then get in touch with me. I am your representative on any welfare concerns to the university, as well as running welfare related campaigns and acting as a reporting centre for hate crime.
Mohammed Surve - Education Officer
Completing your degree doesn’t always run smoothly and sometimes you can have problems - this is where I can help. I represent students to the university, government and beyond on all academic issues. I also offer help, advice, and representation on individual academic cases when you need it most.
Ken Harris, Meena Devlukia, Sue Brown, and David Dedman - Full time professional advisors
We work full time in the Student Advice Centre and can offer free advice, information and representation on a wide range of issues including housing, money, immigration, academic problems, legal matters, health and employment.
