Student Support and Wellbeing

Welcome to the home page of Student Support and Wellbeing 

Our aim is to help you get the most from the Northumbria Higher Education experience by offering a wide range of services, some available to students during application and pre-entry stages, others once students have joined us. The facilities of the centre on the City Campus are available to all students. The main centre is open from 0900 - 1700 from Monday to Thursday each week, and 0900 - 1630 on Fridays, excepting bank holidays and University closure days. There is a separate centre for Careers and Employment, also on the ground floor of Northumberland Building. There is also a smaller centre (including Careers and Employment) at Coach Lane Campus West in Allendale Building, telephone (0191) 215 6590, which is open Monday - Thursday 0900 - 1300 and 1400 - 1700.  For urgent support out of hours, contact Security on 0191 227 3200.

Follow the links at the left hand side for further details of particular support areas within the service.
