INTRODUCTION WELLBEING
Wellbeing
We want you to get the most out of your time at university, to feel safe, supported and able to reach your potential.
We are well connected with city-wide services as well as providing services ourselves. Our comprehensive network of student services ensures you have access to support for all aspects of university life – academic, personal and practical.
Support for your wellbeing Learning to manage your own wellbeing is a crucial part of university life. We will help you to develop those skills and put you in touch with support services when you need them.
• In your school – wellbeing advisers work with academic personal tutors and other staff to address any personal and emotional difficulties you might experience, helping you to make the most of your academic studies.
• In your residence – there is a variety of pastoral support available including senior students who support residential life and wellbeing.
• With your health – the Students’ Health Service offers the full range of NHS GP services. It is run by a team of doctors, nurses and administrative staff with specific expertise in student issues.

• With a disability – students who come to Bristol with ongoing health conditions, mental health or specific learning difficulties, autism spectrum conditions, sensory impairments and mobility difficulties can access additional advice and support from Disability Services. It is best to make contact early to find out what support is available and how to access it.
• With your faith and spirituality – the Multifaith Chaplaincy offers confidential pastoral and spiritual support, religious information and advice, regular events, and a welcoming space for all faiths and none.
Support for mental health
Students with enduring mental health difficulties may experience greater challenges than others in transitioning to university. As well as assisting students to access local NHS services, our Student Counselling Service offers ways for students to maintain positive mental health including self-help materials, workshops, and group and individual counselling.
We encourage students with enduring mental health difficulties to notify us early on in the application process so we can help you to set up your support network before you arrive. For more information about support services at Bristol, visit

Part of a safe environment We do not tolerate any form of bullying, harassment or victimisation and we are committed to providing a fair and safe environment in which students can study and socialise. We have an online tool for reporting incidents and our Security Service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff.
Support for students with children Our subsidised day nursery is located on the main campus. It can accommodate children from three months to five years old and is open weekdays throughout the year.
Support for students leaving care We offer guidance and support throughout your time at Bristol, providing specific information on financial help, accommodation and pastoral support.
Support for international students We support you from the moment you accept an offer right through to graduation, including welcome events and practical support as you settle in to life in Bristol.
