Student Support

No matter how big or small the problem, we're here to help

The home of helpful advice

Coming to university doesn’t just involve learning about your degree, it involves learning about yourself. Whilst your lecturers are here to help you with academic studies, Student Services are here to take care of all those life aspects that you will continue to learn about during your time at AUB.

We offer extra help to anyone who needs it. We provide a range of specialist services to make managing your studies easier.

Whatever your needs, speak to us and we’ll try to help.
