Receiving the right support throughout\nyour degree can be pivotal to your success. Now, more than ever, receiving the\nright support has been a vital aspect of staying motivated and persevering through\nsuch a difficult and unsettling time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I go for help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student services online<\/a> and hubs<\/a><\/strong> are the one-stop-shop for directing you to the right services, whether it\u2019s counselling and mental health support, money, housing, international student and visa queries or disability and inclusion; you can book appointments or advice drop-in sessions easily through the platform. Advice drop-ins allow you to meet with advisors to determine what type of support is needed on a case-by-case basis. You can register with the counselling and mental health support team <\/strong>for 1-2-1\u2019s, group sessions and other specialist support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the academic year, you are assigned a personal tutor<\/strong><\/a>, who is a member of staff there to help guide and point you in the right direction; personal tutors can discuss support options and any impact on your academic progress. You can also access a range of online and in-person study skills support via the Library<\/a> and Linkedin Learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start at King\u2019s<\/a>, you will be provided with many resources, a crucial one being the Welcome to King\u2019s App<\/strong><\/a> (which I found incredibly helpful); the app has information on how to get started with the library, IT<\/a> (free office 365 for all students at King\u2019s!) and setting up your email<\/a>, completing your enrolment, finding out about your inductions and other bits and bobs on your start of year checklist. Another super helpful app is the King\u2019s Mobile<\/a> app, which has various features like careers information and guidance, locations of ChargeBoxes provided to students and staff, a guide to KCL Student Union and how you can get involved, KEATS access (King\u2019s primary web-based online learning environment), student support, timetable, skills hub and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the first day at the IoPPN I have felt supported in all the ways that I needed it;<\/strong> support looks different for everybody. Our course holds engagement sessions regularly, where we can voice our concerns or doubts with our programme leader and team. I have been able to postpone exams due to mitigating circumstances painlessly; I was treated in a considerate and understanding manner, which made the entire process so much less pressured. I have had the opportunity to transform my research project into a dry (non-laboratory-based) project with incredible support and guidance from my supervisor. I have been able to access the university counselling services from home with ease and reassuring communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
