School of Health, Nursing and Midwifery at University of the West of Scotland

UWS offers a wealth of support for our students - whether it's funding advice, study support or wellbeing, you will find the help you need, and the right people to speak to here.

Help and advice is available on all aspects of life at UWS, from funding and counselling, to support on developing your future career, and in the library.

As an international student at UWS we recognise that you will have specific support needs and so we have dedicated International Student Advisers who are there to help with issues relating to student visas, immigration advice, advice on working in the UK, letters for relatives’ visits, financial queries, welfare and health benefits and your general welfare.

Whether you choose a modern en-suite or studio flat at our recently opened Ayr Campus, one of our private flats in the picturesque town of Dumfries, take advantage of the new £13.2million student accommodation which opened at Paisley in September 2012 or simply want to be at the heart of campus life in Hamilton, there’s never been a better time to stay in our student residences. With accommodation starting from just £85 per week, UWS accommodation is an affordable choice.
