The College aims to ensure that students are fully supported in their journey towards the successful completion of their postgraduate education. Providing additional opportunities for academic development, as well as assistance with any issues which may be affecting a student's studies, are very much part of this approach.

Academic support, which includes an integrated professional service in the areas of English for Academic Purposes, Dyslexia Support and Library Information Skills, is provided by Information and Learning Services (ILS), as are a number of Pre-sessional support services. Other specialist support for students with particular needs is provided by Occupational Health and Counselling. As part of the support it provides, the Student Union coordinates Student Representatives and hosts the Student Representative Council.

Advice on accommodation, careers & employment, financial assistance, international student support, sporting opportunities, student welfare and multi-faith chaplaincy can also be found within this section.

A presentation on many of these support services is given to all new students during their first week at the College.
