Student wellbeing and support

We have a dedicated Student wellbeing page where students can access resources on managing their well-being on academic and personal issues. They provide contacts of our Wellbeing Advisor, Senior Tutors and student representatives who may be able to help and direct students to the appropriate resources at Imperial.

For a guide to student wellbeing at Imperial, check out our Student Support Zone and the Success Guide which also offers you advice and resources to excel during your time at Imperial. 

The Disability Advisory Service supports students who have an impairment or disability, specific learning difficulties and other short and long-term conditions. They also extend some services to prospective students and offer holders. Within the department, the Departmental Disability Officers (DDOs) are the first point of contact who help to organise any reasonable adjustments and support suggested by the Disability Advisory Service.

Our Student Counselling and Mental Health Advice Service provides individual counselling for any personal issue(s) that may be affecting your wellbeing.  They also provide support for students who may have had or are experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties.

The Chaplaincy service provides pastoral support by working with experiences of faith, spirituality and religion to support study and research. 

Student life

Clubs, Societies and Projects (CSPs) are a big part of life at Imperial. The Imperial College Union (ICU) is home to all CSPs and a full list of all the CSPs can be found on the Imperial College Union website.

AeroSoc is the student society under the Department of Aeronautics. They provide opportunities for students to pursue their interests outside lectures, such as getting to know their course mates better through organizing fun, exciting activities and social events. They also host a series of highly attended Career Talks where they invite leading firms in the industry to share with you the type of work they are doing at their company.

Future careers

You can find out more about  future Undergraduate Careers and the support by our departmental Careers Advisor. The Careers Service at Imperial also provides support for finding jobs during and after your degree and you can access this support right from year one and all the way up to three years after graduating.

Student Representation is a crucial and invaluable platform that enables the student community to shape their experiences and Imperial as a whole. Within the Imperial College Union, two networks - Academic and Wellbeing - work hand-in-hand to ensure College staff understand the needs of students studying at Imperial. Find out more about the Representative Network in action within the Aeronautics department. 

How are the networks structured?

For each network, each year group will have one Academic Year Rep and one Wellbeing Year Rep and each department has one Academic and one Wellbeing Departmental Rep. The Year Reps are the main point of contact for their cohort and work with the Department Reps to identify issues to be raised with College staff in their departments.

What do the Academic Reps do?

Academic Reps are responsible for identifying and addressing issues affecting your education. They also work to proactively improve both your learning experience and that of future students by coming up with new ideas and sharing best practices from different parts of the university and helping the Union’s agenda. 

The network of academic representatives works across departments and faculties to communicate best practices to one another. 

What do the Wellbeing Reps do?

The Wellbeing Reps are responsible for identifying issues and raising awareness in areas affecting students such as health, financial concerns, relationships, equality & diversity and personal safety. 

The network of wellbeing representatives serves as a campaigning body to promote messages about positive wellbeing and signposting to relevant internal and external support services.
