Student support

All students at Solent University have access to a range of specialist support services. Whether you're having financial difficulty, need help with academic skills or want advice on setting up your own business - you'll find help is always on hand.

Student Hub

You'll find most of our specialist support services in the Student Hub, a central space where you can access all the information and support you may need during your time at university. The Student Hub is also your first point of contact if you have any queries relating to your course, including questions about your timetable, options, and assessments and extenuating circumstances.
