More about how the team can help
If a wellbeing-related issue is affecting your studies or student life in general – from feeling overwhelmed to loneliness and homesickness, or other personal issues – you might need some support. That’s where our Achieve@BU team come in. They can:
- Meet with you one-to-one to discuss what’s worrying you
- Provide information about and signpost you to BU specialist support services, such as learning support, mental health support and disability support.
Get in touch
To arrange an initial chat with a member of the team, you can either:
- Complete our self-referral form. This will take approximately 5 minutes.
- Email us: [email protected]
If you have an academic issue, please contact your Programme Support Team in the first instance. If you don't know who they are or how to get in touch with them, AskBU can help.
