At UWE, we provide a variety of support services, including a dedicated team of Student Experience Coaches.

These coaches are here to help you succeed and fully enjoy your university experience. Using coaching models and techniques, they assist you in setting clear goals, overcoming challenges, and reaching your objectives.

Student Experience Coaches offer guidance on many aspects of life and studies outside the classroom, such as personal development, wellbeing, self-care, and engagement with your course.

They can also help boost your confidence in exams and assignments.

Our Student Experience Coaches are here to:

  • Encourage you to find solutions to your challenges
  • Empower you to take control of your journey
  • Help you explore and define your aspirations and goals
  • Identify strategies and establish daily habits that positively impact your life and studies

What students are saying:

  • “(Coaching) really helped me to understand how to motivate myself and prioritise my work in a way that worked well for me!”
  • “My coach was incredibly helpful and supportive. So helpful to sit with someone and process my thoughts.”
  • “Coaching made me feel like a superhero.”
