3. Mental Health and Wellbeing
The College runs various wellbeing events and awareness campaigns throughout the term. We can offer advice about coping with exam stress, anxiety, living independently and homesickness. Speak to your College Services Welfare Advisor or submit a welfare meeting request form via the VLE NTIC Student Welfare page if you would like help building resilience and dealing with the pressures of student life.
All students also have access to an external confidential advice service called the Student Assistance Programme (SAP). The service, by Health Assured, provides a confidential counselling service as well as legal and financial advice. Students can access it by calling SAP: 0800 028 3766. A translation Service is available, and students can use their native language. You can access support by downloading the 'Wisdom' App from the Apple or Android Store.

4. Accommodation
In Nottingham we have two Kaplan Accommodations that students can choose from. We have a centrally-located residence called Kaplan Living which offers accommodation to all students aged 16 and over, with dedicated flats for under-18s. Kaplan also offers accommodation at Stanley House, which offers luxurious studio flats to all students aged 18 and over. We strongly encourage that all Under-18 students stay either at Kaplan Living as we offer an enhanced wellbeing and support package, but students may live in private accommodation if the College receives a letter from the student’s guardian.
Don’t want to stay at Kaplan residences but would like help with finding accommodation? Speak to your College Services Advisor for guidance about how to find accommodation in Nottingham.

6. Financial Advice
For some students, this may be the first time you will have to manage your own finances. At College Services, we understand that managing your finances may be confusing and stressful, so we have created a page on the NTIC Student Welfare to help you with all things finance! From opening a bank account in the UK, to setting a weekly budget – we can guide you through it all!
As an international student, you are legally allowed to work 10 hours a week during your studies with us. If you would like employability support, you can schedule a meeting with a dedicated Careers Consultant at NTU through the NTU StudentHub. The University has a whole Employability department who are there to help you on with your career journey!
