Experiencing Difficulties

Although we hope that you will enjoy your time at Queen Mary, it is always possible that you will encounter difficulties during your years as a student.  These may relate directly to your studies, such as dissatisfaction with your choice of module; or to your life beyond College, such as family difficulties or trouble with your landlord.  Often, it is impossible to separate the different aspects of your life, and problems in one area will affect your ability to cope in other areas.

Some problems may be easily solved by talking to your Advisor (see Support With Your Studies 3.1.) In other cases, you may benefit from the professional support offered by the College Advice and Counselling Service, the Disability and Dyslexia Service or the Students’ Union. There are also religious facilities in and around the college. Additionally, the Student Health Service is situated on the ground floor of the Geography Building.
