  • Rent guarantor services for students - Many private landlords and estate agents require tenants to provide a rent guarantor who will be required to pay rent should the tenant fail to do so. To help students without a UK guarantor, we have partnered with YourGuarantor who will act as a rent guarantor for students living in the private sector. In addition, we operate an in-house Rent Guarantee Scheme open to UK students who are care leavers, are estranged from their parents, or have other exceptional circumstances. Further details on both these schemes are available on the Rent Guarantee Scheme webpages

Returning from a Leave of Absence

Sometimes students returning from Leave of Absence or placement worry that they might not know anyone on their course. All students may experience times when they struggle to make connections with others and get involved in activities and groups, whether that’s because they don’t know anyone who shares their interests and passions, or because they face barriers such as social anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, or lack of confidence. If you would like help to get to know others on your course or in your college, please complete this short form, and someone from your College or your Department will make contact with you.

Request support for connecting with others

Use this form to let us know if you would like help to get to know others in your college or on your course (or both!).  There are all sorts of reasons why people may struggle to get to know others, for example they may:

  • Be returning from a Leave of Absence or a Placement
  • Be the only person in their flat who has a particular hobby, interest or passion (for example, a sport)
  • Have social anxiety, depression, or lack of motivation, that makes it hard to get involved in social activities
  • Might not know what kinds of things are available (such as groups, societies, events etc.)
  • Might not know anyone who wants to take part in a particular activity (for example, going to the gym, yoga, or an event)

For all of these, there are things we can do to help you link up with others and overcome any barriers you may face. If you complete this form it will be reviewed and someone will contact you from the most relevant part of the University, for example, someone from your department or your college.
