Student Support
What we do
Our purpose is to make Cambridge accessible, promote and facilitate wellbeing, and provide support for students when they need it through a range of services.
These services are outlined below. For more information, visit the Student Support website
Wellbeing Service
The Wellbeing Service delivers prevention-focused wellbeing support for postgraduate students (taught and research). We also offer advice and coordination where needed by student-facing staff, to deliver a joined-up approach for students and staff supporting them.
University Counselling Service
The University Counselling Service provides free inclusive, non-judgemental, timely and confidential therapeutic services.
Mental Health Advice Service
The Mental Health Advice Service offers medium term, evidence-based interventions to students with mental health issues who experience a significant impact on their ability to participate in their everyday lives or academic work.
Harassment and Violence Support Service (HVSS)
The Harassment and Violence Support Service provides trauma-informed emotional and practical support to students who have been subjected to sexual violence and/or racial harassment, discrimination and violence. We also provide advice and training to staff who are supporting students subjected to sexual violence and/or racial harassment, discrimination and violence.
Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre (ADRC)
The ADRC is a confidential and accessible service that offers advice, guidance and support to current and prospective disabled students and staff supporting them.
Mental Health Change Programme
Following a review of student mental health provision, the University's three-year programme of change is underway and aimed at taking forward the recommendations from this review and improving the support for student mental health and wellbeing. The MHCP team leads and coordinates the programme.
