FIND YOUR WAY WITH THE COMPASS It’s been a weird year. We’ve all had to adjust to different ways of working, shopping and socialising. And starting university requires a bit more adjusting again. But don’t worry. We know you might need some support while at university, which is why we put all of our student services together in one place at The Compass. Advice If you’re worried about anyone’s welfare, behaviour or personal issues - including your own - just get in touch. We can guide you on a wide range of issues and also work with external partners like healthcare professionals, support agencies and the police. So even if we can’t help, we’ll know someone who can. Counsellors Our counsellors offer confidential support for students experiencing difficulties with their psychological or emotional wellbeing. They are qualified practitioners who aim to help you cope more effectively with any personal and emotional difficulties that may arise at university.
Finances We have a range of financial support at undergraduate or postgraduate level to help students fulfil their potential during their studies. We also offer advice and support to help students access government loans and other university bursaries.
Mental health Our Student Support team provides expert advice and support on a range of mental health difficulties. Team members are registered mental health professionals, who can help students consider options for support and provide advice for students managing mental health difficulties. A listening ear You’re always welcome at our multifaith chaplaincy. Students and staff from every faith - and no faith - regularly drop in for pastoral and spiritual care. And a nice cup of tea. Both the Penryn and Falmouth chaplaincies have a quiet room for reflection, contemplation, meditation and prayer.
Find us at: Penryn campus: Level 1, Exchange Building Falmouth campus: Lower Courtyard (term-time only)
