When Things Go Wrong, We Can Help.

We hope that everything goes well during your course and during your exams, but we understand that sometimes things can go wrong.

If you find this is happening to you, it is important to remember that you are not alone.  You can seek help and support from your Personal Tutor, from your SSGT as well as from us at Union Support.

Union Support consists of a team of professionally trained and experienced staff who have a wealth of experience helping students navigating the complex regulations that govern your academic experience. The service is free to students of Brighton University, advice is independent of the University, and always confidential.

Our service continues to offer appointments, and these should be booked using the link above.

All of Brighton Students' Union staff are home working, but we are offering appointments via Microsoft Teams. You will be provided with joining instructions once you receive your appointment booking.

The Union Support service is open all year round, including the summer break, there are always staff working behind the scenes ready to help you.

We aim to respond within 2 working days, or sooner if you are attending a university meeting at short notice. If you are attending a university meeting, it is better to get in touch as soon as you know the date and time of your meeting to give us time work with you and help you prepare well in advance.
