Health & Wellbeing
If your health and wellbeing isn't in tip-top shape it can affect your academic life. The Union's Advice Service can offer advice and direct you to services relating to your health and wellbeing, including mental health, sexual health, alcohol and drugs, and social/personal issues.
Healthy Eating
Healthy eating is key to your academic performance as it gives you the fuel you need to succeed.
Check out these links for advice on maintaining a healthy diet.
Mental Health
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. There is lots of support available both from ourselves, the University and online. If you are unsure where to go, just ask us and we will help.
We run a mental health campaign called UPSUok. Find out more here.

Alcohol & Drugs
We understand that alcohol is a big part of the University lifestyle and it is important to be aware that you can make better choices while drinking to ensure your own safety.
Drugs can also be an issue for many as addictions can easily get out of control.
If you feel that drugs and alcohol are becoming a problem for you or a friend, please have a look at these online resources.
