peer connections
www.dundee.ac.uk/studentservices/pconnect
Peer Connections is a welcoming, buddying and mentoring scheme open to all students to help you settle in, show you around, meet, mix and share information and experiences with other students.
Peer Connectors are trained student volunteers who will listen to any concerns you have, provide support and give information.
They are around throughout the year on campus, in the student residences and run regular drop in sessions in DUSA. Peer Connections organises buddy groups for new students and also offers pre-arrival contact.

student support worker
www.dundee.ac.uk/studentservices/supportworker
Primarily focused on new students living in university accommodation, the Student Support Worker deals with well-being issues arising during the transition to university life and provides referral to other support services as required. Each residence has two Student Support Assistants who deal with any issues which affect the welfare of residents.
university health service
www.dundee.ac.uk/healthservice
The University Health Service offers assessment and treatment of both general and mental health problems, as well as advice on a range of health related topics. Appointments are available daily during the semester by arrangement. A confidential mental health nursing service is also available. The University Health Service operates in addition to the facilities provided by the National Health Service and, as many specific treatments can only be accessed via your own doctor, students must register with a local General Practice when they arrive in Dundee.

individual visits
While we encourage everyone to come to one of our main visits we recognise that this is not always possible. Individual visits take place almost every month. These visits include a tour of the city campus and university accommodation led by a Student Ambassador. Unfortunately they will not include departmental visits. Visit
www.dundee.ac.uk/prospectus/visits for more information.
applicants’ visits
Unless you have been asked to attend for interview before an offer is made, you will receive an invitation to visit us after we have offered you a place and before you need to make a decision. Applicant visits usually take place in February and March each year with additional dates held in April. These visits are designed for you and your parents/guardians to visit the academic subject you have applied to, talk to academics and students and view our facilities. Further details will be sent to applicants once an offer is made.
