Support and networking
Our Student Advisers at the Student Hub provide advice on a range of issues, including student finance, disability support, and academic progress issues.
You can phone or email them or log on to the weekly online chat sessions.
See our health and wellbeing pages for advice on looking after your physical and mental health. There are a variety of organisations who provide help and support.
You can contact your college team for help. Online and distance learners are members of Wentworth College.
Student-led support
York is one of the few universities in the UK to have a Graduate Students' Association (GSA), solely for postgraduates.
The GSA can provide you with support and advice that is independent from the University.
The University of York Students' Union (YUSU) can also provide support.
Networking and your career
Our Careers and Placements service provides support through online resources and by giving feedback on CVs, applications and supporting statements. Contact them for a phone or Skype appointment. Find out more about Careers and Placements support for distance learners.
Networking support is also provided through:
- York Profiles & Mentors: Ask York graduates questions or find a York graduate to mentor you.
- York Global Alumni Association: Join a professional network to connect with alumni in your industry and find your nearest alumni group for events and social activities.
