What we do
Support for Underrepresented Groups
We have a team of Student Support Coordinators who provide dedicated support for students who are from particular underrepresented groups who face additional barriers at university. This includes students who are forced migrants, care-experienced, estranged, or carers. The coordinators are your main point of contact throughout your time at Imperial and can help ensure support is in place for any issues who encounter.
Student Wellbeing Advice
We oversee the Student Wellbeing Advice within the Faculty of Natural Sciences. Each department (Chemistry, Life Sciences, Maths, and Physics) has a Wellbeing Adviser who can help provide you with general guidance on managing your wellbeing and can talk with you about wellbeing-related concerns that you would like to discuss in relation to your studies.
