Parent and carer networks

Get in touch with other student parents at the University by joining the Student Parent Network Facebook group.

NUS Connect provides information for student parents about preparing for your studies and balancing work/life commitments.

We also have a list of useful links for carers.

Childcare

Wellbeing and support

Pregnancy

We are committed to supporting you appropriately through pregnancy and maternity/paternity, although the level of support that can be provided will depend on the nature and structure of your course of study, as well as your individual circumstances.

If you are a current student, you can speak to your personal tutor for guidance and support.
