Health and wellbeing
Starting university is exciting, but it can also be exhausting.
Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do to stay healthy and happy.
Register with a doctor
It’s important to be able to speak to a local doctor in case you are ill during your time at university. If you aren’t already, register with a local GP surgery and a dentist as soon as possible after you arrive.
