The Student Wellbeing Service (SWS) is central to the student experience: we aim to ensure that every student feels that they belong to a welcoming, inclusive, supportive, caring, scholarly community.

SWS provides a range of direct services to students, including support for disability, mental health, counselling, and general wellbeing. In addition, the service undertakes proactive outreach to encourage timely engagement with support, develops effective peer and self-help initiatives, and delivers community-building activities to promote wellbeing across the School.
