Support for Students

You may find student life new and exciting, but also a bit bewildering. If you've come from high school, you need to get used to being part of a much bigger community, and you may also be living away from home for the first time, with all the readjustment involved in that. You are likely to need advice and support in order to find your feet socially and academically.

The Faculties operate their support service staffed by people who are easy to contact and who can give you guidance on the following:

▪ application and admission

▪ orientation

▪ academic regulations

▪accommodation

▪ financial issues / loan

▪ legal and community problems

▪ residence permit / visa

▪ health insurance

▪ personal concerns
