We know that the support students might need will change from time to time. The support wheel outlines different levels of need and the associated support that can be access. To help students decide the nature and level of help required please look at the Student Support wheel.

The Understanding Consent course will make students more aware of what consent is and how consent applies to their lives and relationships. It will also provide more awareness of the support that is available at The University of Manchester and in the city of Manchester. 

There are a number of courses specifically for students start their degrees.

  • It's normal to feel anxious when starting university. Whether students are nervous about leaving home and coming to a new city or apprehensive about making new friends, Starting university will help students to feel at home.
  • Buiding confidence helps students to develop it, show how university life can positively impact confidence and tried and tested strategies for building their own confidence.
  • A postgraduate research degree is different from other kinds of degrees the student may have completed already, and beginning one can therefore feel quite daunting. The Starting post-graduate research course give students advice on starting their research.

The University of Manchester library has developed a number of My Learning Essentials courses.
