Refugees and Asylum Seekers

This particular group of students may face challenges related to transitioning into a new culture and university life, they may also face language barriers, financial difficulties and might require more tailored academic support.  

A team of trained Welfare Advisers who sit within the Advice and Counselling Service deliver dedicated support for those who have either been granted refugee status or a different status as the result of an asylum application, or who are awaiting a decision on their asylum application. This support is intended to help students to achieve their potential when they are here.
