How we support you As part of the #HartpuryFamily , you will have lots of support around you to help you achieve your goals.

“The sense of community is very reassuring. I absolutely appreciate the support provided by our lecturers. We are always encouraged to keep an open line of communication with them to discuss any issues.” Dhruvpal

Supporting you in your studies Your programme manager or subject lead and personal tutor are here to support you academically. In addition, you can also approach the Library team, based in your learning centre. Your academic, learning and wellbeing support teams are also here to help you when you need it.

“There is a high chance you may find yourself confused with visas, or your

eligibility to get a job, or even your payment plans. The International team is fantastic and will do everything in their power to help you and are always available for a chat.” Eliza

Ensuring your wellbeing and safety Each accommodation block is looked after by the Residential Support team who you can call on when you need help. For emergencies, the Residential Support team are on call 24 hours a day. The Student Wellbeing team is here to support your physical and mental health. The team includes qualified counsellors, nurses and wellbeing officers to provide guidance when you need it. We have spaces for quiet reflection or prayer and our chaplain will offer a reassuring ear to those of all faiths (or none). During office hours, the team in Student Services at the main reception can point you to the teams you need to help you.

Helping you navigate life in the UK The International team understands the issues that affect our international students and will be able to support you with everything from homesickness to visa issues.

Our most popular support expert is Ralph the Labrador. Our much-loved therapy dog has been assessed for his ability to provide companionship and emotional support and is registered with the charity Pets At Therapy.
