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
Your wellbeing is only one aspect of looking after your health at university — so once you get here we also suggest registering with a doctor (GP) and making sure you are looking after your physical health too.
Urgent support
If you need support urgently, all the important contacts are here.
Support from Student Wellbeing
Available to students in Portsmouth and London, find free mental health, wellbeing and counselling services including daily advice sessions, personalised 1:1 support, and other resources and guides.
Support for your circumstances
Find tailored support for your specific circumstances. We provide guidance for parents, care leavers, estranged students, and others.
Register with a GP and other NHS services
It's important to get registered with a local GP and NHS services to be able to access local health provisions.
Vaccinations
At uni you'll meet and mix with lots of new people, so check you're up to date on your vaccinations.
Chaplaincy
Whether you have faith or not, to talk or be still, our space is yours. The Chaplaincy is there to support all students, of any faith or none.
