HE Advisers Webinar Update: Transitions & Support at University
Thursday 13 February 2025, 3.00pm
We all need some support sometimes, and being at university is no different. If our students need help at Portsmouth, they tell us what’s up – and we act. And most universities will offer the same support.
Join us as we explore:
- The mental and physical health issues that students may face and how advisors and professionals can help young learners through tough times
- How Universities can assist your students with the tough questions; from how to manage their money to how to find a house and a part time job
- The support available from the Schools and Colleges team to help you help your learners take their next steps
