3. Fresher’s Flu & other illness is no fun – enrol with the University Medical Centre
Eat well and make time for ‘you’ as well as your work
Taught PG: avoid absence but let us and your seminar leader know if you can’t attend.
Everyone feels tired, sad, ill, homesick or anxious at some point each term – if it doesn’t go away, get help - talk to your friends, your GP and Student Support
Look after yourself

4. Inclusive Learning Plans
You may already have registered your specific learning difficulties, physical or sensory impairments, medical conditions, or mental health concerns with Student Support and Wellbeing
If not, you can still do so
It is my role to agree that your ILP requirements can be met by the School of Arts and to support you whilst you study
You’ll be invited to meet with me soon to talk your requirements through and ask any questions
You can find more information here
Inclusive Learning Plans

5. Your Supervisors and Seminar Leaders are there to help with assessments and academic worries on a module or with your research. They want you to do well and will be happy to help. Talk to them.
If you have wider academic worries, about returning to writing essays or managing your time whilst researching ask your Supervisor or Academic Advisor for guidance and consider The Student Learning Advisory Service
International Students: the Centre for English and World Languages (CEWL) offer in-sessional English skills courses in Grammar, Essays, Listening and note taking, discussion and presentation skills, and individual writing tutorials. You need to book them quickly 
PG Taught: If you are worried about completing your work on time, talk to your seminar leader or – if this is due to illness or other exceptional circumstances – come and see me to discuss if you are eligible for an Extension
Academic Worries

Money Worries

8. Join Union Societies during Fresher’s week: you don’t need to have done them before – give them a try
Even if you feel homesick, get out and get involved with things
Look out for events run for mature students
Or events for International Students
