How we help
UniHelp are a team of trained advisors who can offer guidance, resolve enquiries and refer students to the appropriate specialist teams. If you need general advice or help on any aspect of your life as a student, you can contact us.
Our friendly advisors are equipped to provide first level pastoral support. We are the first point of contact for students to access student support services and can make appointments for students to see a specialist or direct them to appropriate workshops or drop-in sessions where available.
If you require more detailed advice, UniHelp Advisors can refer you to specialist support – by arranging immediate help from a specialist, or by making an appointment for you at a time that's convenient.
There are also a wide range of workshops covering lots of topics including academic writing, library resources, student finance, employability and visa support for international students. In most cases you can book places on these workshops directly, but a UniHelp Advisor can check availability and do it for you.
