Howwe support you As part of the #HartpuryFamily , you’ll 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 student ambassadors and 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’s 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. They are a short walk away and are always available for a chat.” Eliza

Ensuring your wellbeing and safety Each accommodation block is looked after by a warden who you can call on when you need help. For emergencies, the Duty Warden is 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.

Two of our most popular support experts are Ralph, the labrador, and Bailey, the cocker spaniel. Our much-loved therapy dogs have been assessed for their ability to provide companionship and emotional support and are registered with the charity Pets As Therapy.
