Wellbeing Services in Devon

Education support

If your mental or physical health or wellbeing is affecting your ability to study, or your studying is creating health problems, then contact your Education Welfare Team. The team will talk to you in a confidential and non-judgmental way about any issues you  need help with. Support is available for students of all levels (undergraduate and postgraduate taught or research).

The Education Welfare Team can help with:

  • Worries about your academic progress, due to a health or wellbeing difficulty;
  • Directing you to the teams who can help you with  academic processes, such as mitigation (delaying an exam or extending a deadline) and assignment submissions;
  • Support around interrupting your studies, or changing your mode of attendance;
  • Information about support and appointments with wellbeing practitioners and other advisors - the team can help you make the right appointment to discuss mental health support, disability support or set up an Individual Learning Plan;
  • Support  for a specific study-related problem or issue through a one-off meeting;
  • Ongoing support through the Health, Wellbeing and Support for Study process.

If you are based in Cornwall, please see the Cornwall Education Welfare Team page.
