Academic Advice

Our team is here to support your academic interests. We offer non-judgemental, free and confidential support to help and guide you through any difficult decisions you make during your time at the University.

We can support all students, including undergraduates, taught postgraduates, and research postgraduates.

These include changing courses, suspending studies and supporting you in your applications for exceptional circumstances, academic appeals and in writing complaints.

Alternatively, if you are being investigated for academic misconduct on assessment or want to appeal against Fitness to Study decisions, we can help throughout the process and advise on next steps.

See a list opposite of topics we can support on.

To start a new case with us you need to submit an enquiry form so that we have the necessary details to set it up correctly.

We don't have a phone number and our main SU Student Services team can't give academic advice or provide updates on your case, so please use this form or respond to a previous email from us if you need support.

We're not currently able to offer meetings due to the volume of students we are supporting - this is so that we can offer fair and equal advice to everyone. The exception to this is if you are invited to attend a University panel or investigation meeting. The best way to contact us is via our enquiry form. We will do our best to accomodate access needs, so please complete that section of the enquiry form if it applies to you.
