Student Support

At The University of Law, we are committed to ensuring that all our students feel represented and have a sense of belonging. Our ambition is to ensure that the barriers to learning and student experience are minimised. Find out more about how we support our students from underrepresented or disadvantaged groups below.

• BAME
• Commuter students
• Care experienced and estranged students
• Students Returning to Education and Mature Students

As part of our commitment to growing equality, diversity & inclusion at the University, we have collated a range of resources to support different groups and communities in our student body. We are also running a series of events to celebrate and raise awarness of these different groups, the recordings of which can be accessed below.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion ➔

Our Wellbeing Service can provide advice, guidance and support to you during your time studying with us on a variety of practical, personal and/or social issues or concerns. This could include:

• Suggesting lifestyle changes to improve wellbeing
• Recommending self-help strategies
• Liaising with your personal tutor if required to discuss reasonable adjustments to your study.
• Recommending the most appropriate ongoing support for you

Our objective is to ensure that you are supported in managing problems which you may face inside or outside university so you can work to the best of your abilities during your studies.

You can also access counselling through our partners, Spectrum Life Student Assistance Programme. After an initial assessment session, you may be offered up to six sessions of counselling – via video call or telephone or (in the UK and Ireland) in person.

Confidential support

Our Wellbeing Advisors and all of our Student Support Services deal with concerns in confidence, however, there may be exceptions where they have to break confidentiality. This includes situations when someone is at risk of harming themselves or others or there are safeguarding concerns. No verbal or written information would otherwise be exchanged outside our Student Support Services without your knowledge or consent.
