Parents and Supporters' Zone

The first year of university is an important step in a student’s life. Although an exciting moment, it can also be a daunting experience for new students, as well as their supporters. We understand that parents and supporters can play an important part in their students’ university experience, and we want to ensure that supporters have their own platform to keep informed and included within their student’s academic life. We offer a range of services which support students throughout their time at university. It’s important for our students to know we will be there every step of the way and provide support, guidance, and the freedom to grow independently. From health and wellbeing services, financial support, and careers advice, to impressive graduation ceremonies, students are at the centre of our attention, and most importantly, our priority.

It is perfectly natural for a parent or supporter to feel concerned about their student's wellbeing, financial status, and overall university experience. It is important for the supporter to measure the level of concern before acting on it. Please note that under the 1998 Data Protection Act, we are unable to provide personal and confidential information regarding a student without that student's prior consent. If you are concerned about a student's safety or whereabouts, then you can be reassured that your concern has been noted and dealt with by the University internally.
