JOIN THE PACK

We hope you’ll find the University of Wolverhampton has a welcoming environment like no other.

Being a student is all about you being the person you want to be, so we offer the support and opportunities needed to ensure that every student feels safe, secure, and encouraged.

We work hard with partners, students, and our own agencies to make your university life is varied and exciting. Whatever your interests, we seek to give you an experience to inspire and help you flourish while you’re with us.

KEEPING THE FAITH

Whether you follow a faith or want to explore your spirituality, our Chaplaincy works with colleagues in Student Support and Wellbeing (see p44) to help students with religious or cultural concerns, and those who may feel isolated or anxious. Whether in person, online, or over the phone, our chaplains offer private and confidential conversations.

The Chaplaincy has also worked with students to arrange interfaith conversations, social justice activities, and visits to places of worship.

AN EXCITING UNIVERSITY, ALL-YEAR-ROUND

We and our partners fill the University of Wolverhampton calendar with exciting events to engage you socially, educationally, and professionally all year round.

In the past our campus has hosted a range of events including family fun days, the Students’ Summer Party, food fairs, and Christmas in the Courtyard, as well as working with partners to deliver events like Pride, Black History Month, and the city’s annual Christmas Carol Concert.

LGBT+

The University welcomes people of all lifestyles and orientations, and the Students’ Union LGBT+ society is open for membership to all University of Wolverhampton students, alumni, and staff. We also encourage students to take advantage of our monthly LGBT Mental Health and Wellness drop-in, as well as the many local resources in the nearby area including Birmingham LGBT, Wolverhampton LGBT Alliance, Terence Higgins Trust, Trans Central, and Trans Masculine Birmingham.
