Seeking the relevant help and guidance will ensure that your time at City is as happy and enjoyable as it can be, whilst also contributing to better academic outcomes. We therefore encourage you to have a look at the internal and external services that are available to City students, listed below.

Union Advice will signpost or refer you to one of these services if we are unable to help.
