student health service The health and wellbeing of City students is a key priority for the University and we are proud to be part of the ‘Well’ campaign for campus wellbeing. Our Nurse Advisor can offer advice on minor injuries and ailments, as well as contraception and information on any aspect of physical or mental health. If you have a significant medical condition, you are encouraged to make contact with the service to discuss managing your health while studying at City. The service, which is located at the Northampton Square site, also has a restroom available to you should you become unwell during the day. We encourage you to register with an NHS GP and we can help with this process.
student counselling service Professional counsellors are available to offer counselling for personal and academic worries and concerns, either on an individual or group basis. The service works closely with other student services, academic departments and where appropriate with external organisations to provide a network of resources and psychological support. Groups and workshops (on managing examination anxiety, procrastination and stress management, for example) are run throughout the year. Optometric service This offers a comprehensive service to students, staff and the public. The clinics, which are staffed by finalyear undergraduates and supervised closely by qualified academic or optometric staff, are open throughout the academic year. They offer full ophthalmic care including routine eye examinations, contact lens clinics and children’s clinics, complemented by a dispensing facility which offers a wide range of frames and lenses.
Chaplaincy The University has links with representatives of several faiths and our chaplains are available for you to explore questions of faith, meaning and purpose, learn about major world religions, worship, have confidential conversations and take part in social events. Finance support service If you have any financial concerns, our Senior Financial Support Advisor can provide advice and information about the funding options available to you. Advice can also be given on money management and budgeting, professional and career development loans and applications for scholarships and Access to Learning Funds.
