► Advice

SUBU Advice provides free, independent and confidential advice and information to existing and prospective BU students. The service is non-judgemental and accessible, and works with students to resolve their concerns.

We offer advice on housing, appeals/complaints, Academic Offences, finance (including benefits), employment law, personal and legal issues.  If you’re not sure whether we can advise you, just ask!  We’ll certainly be able to help you in some way, at the very least by referring to a more appropriate service.  We have a wide range of knowledge and experience and an extensive library of resources.
