Student Experience and Support

Our Student Experience and Support Office is a hub of information, advice and guidance for Moray House School of Education and Sport students. If you have a question about any aspect of your life as a student at Moray House, please feel free to visit or contact us.

We are here all year round to offer you support and guidance and form a key part of the support network available to you as a student at Moray House School of Education and Sport. We are your first point of contact for a variety of enquiries and non-academic issues. We can connect you to a variety of sources of support available to students, and offer help when you need it.

An example of when you might want to get in touch with us is if difficult or unforeseen circumstances affect your time at University, or in some way interfere with your studies. If you experience any difficulties in this way, it is really important that you let us know as soon as possible – we can advise you on your options and the resources which are available to you.

On the following page you can find out information about the student support model in the university.


We seek to offer a thriving social experience to all of our students. From health walks to academic writing sessions to student-led initiatives which aim to positively impact society, there are a range of events and opportunities for students to get involved with throughout the year.

We are committed to ensuring inclusivity and promoting equality. We offer support for student initiatives that are aimed at community-building, facilitate the exchange of ideas and provide advice as to the various ways in which students can get involved with peers in their programme, within the School and beyond.


Your voice is an integral part of our planning, and we are committed to listening to your thoughts and views and working with you to try and ensure we respond and adapt in the best way possible.

We have a range of projects and initiatives in which we hope you will participate. We also have an active Programme Rep community to help support you. They work in partnership with staff to improve the student experience for current and future students.


A range of academic and pastoral support services is available for all students in the university. This includes academic guidance from the Institute for Academic Development, Careers guidance, and workshops and resources from English Language Education.

Health and wellbeing support, sport and exercise facilities and the EUSA Advice Place are also available, as well as the Student Immigration Service for international students.

The Disability and Learning Support Service supports students with a range of health conditions, learning differences, disabilities and some temporary injuries. There is also information available on how students with disabilities are supported in the School.

Support is also available for students who are carers, estranged or care experienced.
