Wellbeing
Looking after your health and wellbeing is key during uni. Long hours in classes, studying & everything in-between means making time for your physical and mental health isn't just a vibe, it's essential.

Specific Resources
While many of the resources above are available to everyone, we’ve highlighted specialised support for specific student groups using a letter code. If we’ve coded it, it means the organisation shows a commitment to or specifies how they support that community, or the organisation has been created specifically to support that community. If it isn’t coded, it doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be able to support students from the specified communities, it just means they haven’t specified how they would support students from these groups.
