Your Wellbeing at Leeds Beckett

During your studies, you will be able to receive support from your lecturers, but each course also has a specialist team ready to assist you with any issues or enquiries you might have. 

Speak to your course administrator

Your course administrator is your key contact at university and is here to help. They are here to ensure that you have the smoothest possible student experience whilst studying with us. If you have a question about your course or if you experience any problems, your course administrator is a great first person to ask.

If you're not sure who your course administrator is, you can find their details via your Course Handbook. Your Course Handbook will also provide vital information about submitting assignments, mitigation and a range of other important issues.

Get disability advice and support

Your Disability Advice team are here to provide support and specialist guidance from the moment you apply to Leeds Beckett University. Visit our Disability advice and support pages for information about who to contact or to access our online resources.

Get advice for your physical wellbeing

It's important you take care of your overall physical health and wellbeing whilst at university. Access our online guides and resources for tips on how to stay active and healthy, including how to register with a local dentist or doctor.

Managing your money as a student can take some careful planning and from time to time you may encounter financial stress. You may be entitled to extra financial support or you might benefit from a little help when it comes to budgeting. 

Speak to your Student Money Advice team

Your Student Money team can provide advice about student funding, benefits and budgeting. They can offer support over the phone and at appointments, and provide lots of helpful online resources and information to help you with managing your money. You'll find these along with contact information on our Money, Fees and Bursaries pages.

Speak to your Wellbeing team

Your Student Wellbeing team can offer advice and support on lots of issues, as well as signposting other helpful support services and resources.

If you'd like to speak to someone you'll need to register with the Wellbeing team and then book your initial consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. We have appointments available at both campuses [from 21 September we will be offering a mix of telephone and face-to-face appointments].

At your initial consultation you can discuss any difficulties you may be experiencing and we can work out – together – what type of support would best meet your needs. This is a confidential space to talk, work through concerns and identify practical steps to overcome difficulties. Following that we might:

• Refer you for further support from Student Wellbeing, either from a mental health practitioner or a counsellor
• Refer you to other areas in our university and / or external services
• Refer you to a range of self-help materials to help work through problems you are experiencing

Access resources and tools

Our range of online resources provide you with information, advice and tools aimed at promoting your mental wellbeing and supporting others around you.

If you're not sure where to start then your Wellbeing team are always here to help, to get started you'll need to register your details. To make sure we can get you the right support, all students that register will be asked to book for an initial consultation. Our service is open Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). Our opening hours are Monday to Thursday 09:00 to 17:00 and Friday 09:00 to 16:30.

We also have an A-Z guide of all the support offered with signposts to relevant support.
