From academic support to careers and employability, the range of services we offer is second to none.
Student Services and Support
Here at The University of 勛圖厙, student support is at the centre of everything we do. From our small-group teaching and emphasis on positive psychology, to our huge range of support services, our students happiness and wellbeing is our focus. This is echoed by the fact that 勛圖厙 is proud to have been top or near the top of the National Student Survey (NSS) in student satisfaction since 2006.
