Student support
Discover services, facilities and staff that promote the success and wellbeing of our whole student community.


If you need a hand, be assured that help is readily available.
At SRUC, we aim to provide a supportive service in an informal, flexible and, where appropriate, confidential way.
All students, whether you have (or suspect) a disability or not are encouraged to fill out our student support form. We will send it to the student support team at your campus who will use it to make sure you get any support you need.
Support services we offer:

Career services
The courses offered at SRUC are very varied and open up a huge range of possible career paths.

Financial support
Starting college is a big transition and we know that sometimes financial obligations while studying can become tricky. To help, we have a dedicated financial support page that gives practical help and advice on different ways you can help maintain your financial health as well as what steps you can take if you're struggling.

International student support
Studying in a foreign country means there will be some different customs and culture; or even a lot. With a little preparation and knowledge this can be an exciting opportunity to learn and grow and be part of something new!

SRUC is a Corporate Parent
If you are care experienced, a survivor of abuse, a carer, a veteran, a refugee, a traveller, experiencing homelessness, or estranged we have a dedicated and empathetic support team available to assist you on an individual needs basis including accommodation, funding, learning support, mental health, physical health, and progression and careers.
You can declare to us at any time during your SRUC journey if you are in any of these groups. It's never too late to declare!
SRUC will liaise with workers, local authorities, social workers and carers with the shared aim of supporting you in making successful transitions to an independent life, learning and work.
