Supporting our Students
We provide a range of services to help students overcome financial challenges and succeed in their studies. Our Student Money and Accommodation Advice team offers guidance on funding, budgeting, hardship support and accommodation, helping students access the support they need throughout their time at university.
We also provide scholarships and bursaries to help reduce financial barriers to higher education.
Widening Access to Higher Education
Our Access and Participation Plan sets out our commitment to improving access, success and progression for students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds. Through targeted outreach, transition and student success programmes, we work to ensure higher education remains accessible to all.
Supporting Communities and Tackling Inequality
Beyond our campuses, we support organisations working to address social challenges through initiatives such as our Charities and Social Enterprise Clinic, which helps charities and social enterprises strengthen their impact within local communities.
We also contribute to local efforts to address inequality through partnerships with public and community organisations, helping to inform action on some of London's most pressing social and economic challenges.
