Student Life and Student Supports

As a multi-campus university, ATU offers students a diverse range of unforgettable experiences, whilst ensuring they are fully supported throughout their academic journey.

Clubs and Societies

Joining a club or society is a great way to meet people with similar interests, try out something new or pursue your passion. We encourage students to join at least one club or society, and with a huge variety to choose from, ATU has something for everyone.

Students’ Union

As soon as you become an ATU student, you automatically become a member of a Students’ Union (SU). These are democratic organisations run by students, for students. Whilst they organise lots of fun events throughout the year, the Students’ Union are also a valuable source of support and campaign on important issues facing students.

Sport for All

Our belief is that sport is for everyone. We understand the positive impact it can have on an individual’s physical and mental health. That is why we have a wide range of activities to suit everyone. Whether you are an elite level athlete, a talented amateur or someone who is looking to keep fit and healthy, we have something to suit all abilities and interests.

Student Experiences

The opportunity to translate academic knowledge into a hands-on employment experience is why ATU are so passionate about work placement. We also encourage students to consider the option of spending a year, a semester or even a small part of a semester abroad at one of our partner institutes across Europe and the world

Academic Supports

We have invested heavily in our learning facilities to ensure our students are fully supported throughout their academic journey. Our dedicated libraries, learning support tutors, maths support centres, academic writing centres and technology services offer innovative and friendly support to our students. Our student success teams help ensure our students have an enjoyable and successful time at ATU, while our careers teams are passionate about finding every student a career and future they will love.

Student Supports

Our student supports teams help with any concerns or worries you may have in a confidential and sensitive manner. Our access offices are here to support students who may have special learning needs, disabilities or any circumstances which might need individual consideration. Our health service teams are made up of doctors, nurses, counselling, and well-being services. The chaplaincy service supports students in their personal and spiritual growth during their time at ATU. The chaplaincy service is available to students of all faiths and those who have none.
