How to take care of your mind, body and spirit
Your health and wellbeing matters to us, and it's important for your learning too.
Find out more about the many ways we can help you take care of your mind, body and spirit so that you are set to manage challenges and fulfil your potential.
General Health
As you embark on your exciting university journey, it's worth taking a moment to ensure you're fully protected against meningitis. This preventable illness can affect anyone, but new students are particularly at risk due to increased social mixing. The good news is that a simple vaccination can provide robust protection. The MenACWY jab, offered to most students in year nine or ten, safeguards against four types of meningococcal bacteria. If you're unsure whether you've had this vaccine, it's a brilliant idea to check with your GP before heading off to uni. By taking this small step, you'll be setting yourself up for a healthier, worry-free start to your academic adventure. Remember, your wellbeing is just as important as your studies!"
Once you get here we suggest Registering with a Doctor (GP) so you can get any necessary appointments in good time.
Your mental health
Here are our services, resources and spaces on campus to help you look after your mental health:
- Student Wellbeing service – access free confidential support from mental health professionals
- Wellbeing workshops and events – free wellbeing events, workshops and courses at uni
- Support in a crisis – urgent help and where to go after an incident or crime
- Wellbeing resources and other support – talk to the NHS, charities, or read our guides to navigate mental health
- Chaplaincy – a quiet, safe and inclusive space for all students
