Who We Are
Guild Advice is a free online, impartial and confidential advice service for students at the University of Birmingham. Our Education and Welfare Advisors specialise in Academic and Money support, but can also triage queries related to Housing, Wellbeing and International Support.
Like the Citizens Advice Bureau, we give practical advice on all kinds of subjects relating to student life. We are on hand if you need someone to talk to - just come and visit us on the Ground Floor of the Guild of Students!
What We Do
As well as providing advice and guidance we conduct research to help prepare you for University Academic meetings and arrange appropriate representation as and when required. We can also offer support with checking through appeals and complaints and can guide you through the processes.
Where needed, Guild Advice will look to offer online meetings to ensure you are effectively supported.
This year we are excited to be delivering a range of awareness and support campaigns in relation to wellbeing and advice, our aim is to get information out across the University to as many of you as possible.
In-person Support
The Guild Advice Service does not currently provide in-person drop-ins or appointments. If you require in-person support, the University provide a variety of support services, from counselling appointments to international visa guidance.
