Parents' Perspective
Supporting your son or daughter through
their university journey
Rachel and Claire
Rachel Parkes provides some tips to help prepare your son or daughter for leaving home.
Helena and Tom
As a single parent, Helena Martyn had a few money questions when her son, Tom, headed off to Uni. She’s delighted with how things have gone.
Harvinder and Pav
Having never had the opportunity herself, Harvinder Bharaj was determined to ensure her sons could benefit from a university experience and she’s supported them every step of the way.
We'll support them
It might be a parent’s prerogative to worry, but rest assured that we have a number of support services in place should your son or daughter ever need them.
Settling into uni life
Are they ready to fly the nest? Here's a little advice on helping to ensure they can hit the ground running at university.
Empty nest syndrome
For them it's a new adventure. You, however, may find yourself affected by 'empty nest syndrome'. Dr. Steve Taylor, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Leeds Beckett, talks us through it.
Your First Day At Beckett
Watch our video to get a feel for what moving into accommodation and settling into university life is really like. We caught up with new students as they arrived at our Halls of Residence, met roommates for the first time and got to know each other at a specially arranged Welcome Party.

Help them to stand out
Writing a personal statement will probably be a difficult part of the UCAS application for your son or daughter. There are many ways in which you can help them though.
Meningitis vaccine
If your son or daughter is going to be starting university soon and is 25 or under, they will be eligible for a Men ACWY vaccine to protect against meningitis.
