Support Resources
Various issues that you may require support with, including: health and wellbeing, VISA issues, proof of student status and accommodation issues.
The University has a range of services to help students with their health and wellbeing.
If you need to miss classes because of a short illness or other unavoidable reason, you should contact the relevant course administrators to let them know.
For a prolonged illness or other disruption to your studies, you should notify your Student Adviser or email studentsupport@maths.ac.uk, for advice on the options available to you.
There are a range of opportunities to spend a year abroad in your third and fourth year.
If you are experiencing any issues with your accomodation, you can contact the University's Accomodation Services or the Advice Place who should be able to help, depending on the nature of the issue.
Your Academic Cohort Lead should be able to provide you with an academic reference. Please give them plenty of notice. If required, the following can write a reference for a prospective employer (e.g. if the Cohort Lead has retired):
- Senior Academic Cohort Lead
- Mathematics Teaching Office
- Head of School
For a reference for a rental lease, for example, proof of student status should usually suffice.
Student Administration issues these documents, which you can order online.
If you have issues with your VISA or have questions relating to Immigration, you should contact the International Office or the Student Immigration Service. The School is not permitted to give VISA advice.
Below is a link attached to information about and on how to obtain a Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR).
If you feel you've made a wrong choice of elective course, it is most important that you talk this over with your Academic Cohort Lead or Student Adviser as soon as possible. You are not normally allowed to change courses after a course has been running for two weeks because of the difficulty of catching up with the material you will have missed in a new course.
If you are having problems with the material in a course you should talk in the first instance to the course organiser, or get advice from one of the tutors at MathsBase . They can provide advice on study skills and can direct you to background help resources and can advise on issues that may be affecting your study.
