New College Swindon University Centre

Support Extra for University Centre Students

If you need some extra support during your time at New College Swindon University Centre we have dedicated teams to help. You will have a personal tutor who you will meet with you regularly to talk about your progress. They will also be able to help you with any worries you might have.

• Additional Learning Support 

We have a dedicated University Centre Study Support Officer who can offer one to one or group support to all higher education students. You don’t need to have a named learning difficulty to access study support; you might just need some additional or initial support until you gain confidence writing and studying at a higher level. 

• Careers Service 

Our Careers Adviser is available to give you free and impartial advice, guidance and information about career prospects, work, training, further study and CVs. There are also lots of careers resources in the Learning Resource Centre and on the VLE. 

• Accessibility 

To make our buildings and University Centre accessible we have reserved parking, ramped access to buildings and lifts to all areas in the main building and sports centre.

• Counselling 

If you need some support while learning we offer a free, confidential counselling service.

• Student Union 

All New College Swindon University Centre students automatically become members of the New College Student Union, and participation in their events or membership of the NC Exec is strongly encouraged. You can also get student discounts at lots of national retailers, restaurants and other entertainment venues by purchasing a TOTUM card (new name for NUS Extra). 

• Chaplaincy 

Our Chaplaincy offers students and staff a confidential listening ear. We have a Sacred Space available for students and staff of all faiths and none. The current Chaplaincy team members are from different Christian denominations, but offer a service to people of all faiths.
