Wellbeing

Your mental health and wellbeing is always our priority – we’re here for you.

Take a look at the information below, and connect directly with the help you need. If you’re not sure, talk to your student support and guidance tutor. 

School Support and Guidance Tutors

Our Student Support and Guidance Tutors (SSGTs) are dedicated to supporting you with any issues that might be impacting your studies, your wellbeing, and your experience with us.

Visit the University of Brighton website for further information on SSGTs.

Learning Support Plans

Support is available for all disabled students at the university through a Learning Support Plan (LSP), which ensures that your lecturers are aware of your support needs. The LSP will include reasonable adjustments to the way in which your course is taught and assessed to ensure that you can achieve your full potential. The exact recommendations in your LSP will depend both on your disability and your course requirements.

Visit the University of Brighton website for further information on LSPs.
