Help us help you

Your wellbeing is our priority. It's OK to reach out for help. If you’re not feeling yourself, talk to your personal tutor or get in touch with the Student Services Hub.

Speak to your personal tutor

Your personal tutor is your go-to guide, cheerleader, and problem-solver throughout your studies. They’re your first point of contact for general academic guidance and pastoral support. Your tutor will be ready to provide guidance, encouragement, and the tools you need to thrive at Stirling. Start the conversation today.

Everyone is allocated a personal tutor. You'll find your personal tutor’s details in your academic history on your Portal homepage.

Student Services Hub

The Student Services Hub brings lots of services together to help you make the most of your time at Stirling. Our dedicated student support team is here to listen, offer guidance and point you in the right direction at every turn. Specialist services include mental health and wellbeing, money support, accessibility and inclusion, and gender and sexual violence.

It's OK to ask for help. Email, use live chat, call or visit the Student Services Hub.

Feeling homesick?

University life can be demanding, but it's okay to ask for help. Reach out to your personal tutor today, or check out our blog with five top tips to help you manage coursework stress.

How's it going?

Sometimes we know our friends better than they know themselves. If your friend seems a bit low, ask them how they’re doing. It’s a simple question but it could have a big impact. See our advice if you're worried about your own mental health or the mental health of others.
