For information about looking after your mental health and wellbeing please go to this page and and for information on physical health and keeping active please go to this page

Maintaining contact with family, friends and loved ones at home 

Whilst it is best to maintain normal routines during this period DO NOT miss out on contact with family and friends who are living in different time zones. Maintaining contact will help you maintain a positive mood. 

Worried about coursework/essay deadlines and exams 

CELE can provide one to one support. Your main priority is to look after yourself – be kind to yourself and balance your study time with relaxation and activity time 

Hate crime/harassment related to coronavirus 

Unfortunately, there have been some incidents of international students being harassed in relation to Coronavirus. If you experience any aggression, harassment, threatening behaviour or unkind words towards you, this is UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR.  

Please keep yourself safe and consider reporting the incident. No incident is trivial. 

You can report to our harassment team here
