The Student Inclusion Team works with students from specific
backgrounds or communities who face personal challenges and experiences which
may differ from other students. We recognise that these challenges can often add
to worries and pressures and can include financial difficulties alongside managing
the commitment of full-time study whilst taking care of personal wellbeing.
NU Belong is a package of practical assistance and advice offered by
The Student Inclusion Team. It is committed to supporting students who are Care
Leavers, Estranged, Carers and Sanctuary Scholars to ensure that the University
enables success rather than presenting further barriers to learning. We work
collaboratively with recruitment and outreach staff and other services across Student, Library and Academic Services to ensure our students receive high
quality and appropriate support and advice, effective referrals, and enhanced
engagement at every stage of their student journey.
Through a tailored offer of support, we aim to ensure that students
feel empowered, encouraged, and engaged from pre-entry through to graduation.
The pages below detail the support and eligibility criteria available
to different students through the NU Belong package.
Current students can enquire via their Student Portal. If you are not a current student and you would like to contact us please use this form and we'll be in touch
