Report + Support

This reporting system provides a way for you to notify the University if you witness or experience something that concerns or distresses you. You should not have to accept any behaviour that you're not comfortable with, and can use this system to let us know about something that has happened/is happening to you.

Time away from your studies

If you think you might need time away from your studies, talk to your personal tutor and programme administration team. They'll be able to advise you whether a formal suspension of studies is an option and discuss this with you, as well as arrangements for returning to your studies.
