Support When You Need It

Whether it’s your first week on campus, or you’ve been here for years – you’ll soon know that student life is full of ups and downs!

To help you navigate university life, we’ve put together our Support section which we hope you’ll use as a ‘go to guide’ throughout your time at Birmingham.

Guild Advice

If you need advice and guidance on academic issues, housing, wellbeing or international support -  Guild Advice is here to help.

Student Mentors

If you’re living in halls and need some help adjusting to Uni life and shared living, speak to the Student Mentors who’ve been through it all themselves.

Academic Support

From revision tips to avoiding plagiarism, view our Academic Support Hub for lots of useful advice for your upcoming exams and assessments.

Community Wardens

Got queries about living in the community? Community Wardens help with: keeping yourself and your home safe, anti-social behaviour, recycling, and more.

Not on Campaign

If you wish to take a stand against sexual harassment, you can sign the Not On pledge or attend a consent workshop. The Not On campaign is always here for you.

Welfare and Community Officer

If you experience any support or housing issues, your Welfare and Community Officer will be happy to help or point you in the right direction.

Remember that we’re here to support you and that it’s perfectly normal to need a little bit of help along the way. If you can’t find what you need, contact Guild Advice. You can also email your Welfare and Community Officer; they’ll be more than happy to help!
