Support in response to world events

When world events affect members of our community, we know how important it is to have the right support, especially for those who are far away from family and friends back home.

Please note, because of the ongoing situation surrounding Coronavirus (COVID-19), most University support services are now working remotely. Please see our support and wellbeing webpage for regularly updated information.

We understand that world events can have an impact on many different aspects of our students’ lives and can also sometimes affect good relations between people. If you're affected by world events there are many places on campus where you can find support, whether you’re looking for practical help, advice, or someone to talk to. 

LUU Advice

LUU Advice in Leeds University Union building can give: general advice, help with personal, financial and academic issues, advice on group support and solidarity activity, and support for students experiencing harassment or a hate incident.

Talk to staff in your school if you find that the situation is affecting your studies, so they can advise and support you during this time.
