Student Health and Wellbeing services
University life is exciting but can come with its own challenges. Our Student Health and Wellbeing service is committed to supporting you throughout your time at NTU. We can help you find the right help at the right time to tackle whatever issues you might be encountering. We can offer advice, guidance and a safe space to talk about personal, emotional and psychological issues impacting on your studies.
We also have safeguarding measures and support provision in place to protect the safety and welfare of children and vulnerable adults participating in university activities.
Tailored support is also available for students who may have specific needs, such as estranged students, care leavers, pregnant and student parents, mature students, transgender students, and those in need of sexual violence support.
How to contact us
- You can tell us if you’re having personal, emotional or mental health difficulties by completing the Support and Wellbeing Referral Form. You can also submit the form if you are worried about a friend.
- You can also contact the Nottingham Trent Students' Union Information and Advice Service, who can offer independent, free and confidential advice to students.
- If you feel as though you are in need of more urgent, emergency support, visit the Get Help and Support page.
Healthy NTU
NTU's in-house health and wellbeing programme, Healthy NTU, helps you to make sure that you're happy and healthy.
The programme offers support throughout your time at NTU, covering key health themes — from sexual health and alcohol and drugs, to nutrition and emotional welfare. The programme also includes workshops and wellness sessions, as well as University-wide initiatives.
Register with a Health Centre
Make sure to register with a local medical practice when you start university. Don't wait until you feel ill or need a repeat prescription before you join. We have several campus and local practices that you can register at.

We encourage all our new students under 25 years old to protect themselves against meningitis, especially if you’re attending university for the first time. You can request to have the MenACWY vaccine from your GP before you arrive at NTU.

NTU and the city of Nottingham are diverse places, and it’s great to have so many people from all walks of life living here. It’s therefore very important that we respect each other.
Discriminatory and negative behaviour, including the use of social media to demean and humiliate, is not tolerated and may also be unlawful.
It’s important to know about consent, what it means, and the boundaries that surround it.
Every first year undergraduate student will have a consent workshop scheduled into their timetable for either Term One or Term Two.
We're committed to making NTU an enjoyable and safe place for all students.
We're very clear on how we expect our students to conduct themselves. You must be responsible and respectful to other people. That includes other students, NTU staff, visitors, and the local community alike.
Any behaviour that breaches the Student Code of Behaviour can have very serious consequences.
We are committed to ensuring you feel safe and secure in Nottingham.
NTU and our Students' Union (NTSU) have worked closely together to look at a variety of ways we can help to ensure all students feel safe whether on or off campus including:
- access to our NTU security team 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
- a safe taxi scheme to get you home if you've run out of cash,
- staffed safe places at our City, Clifton and Brackenhurst Campuses each evening.
