Student Support

A supportive environment 

From your first enquiry through to graduation and beyond, our aim is to ensure you feel supported, informed and able to thrive. Our services are designed to help you make the most of your time at Metanoia – not just academically, but personally and professionally.

Our teams are approachable, responsive and here to support you every step of the way. If you need help, advice or reassurance, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can find out more below. 

Academic Coordinators

Each programme has a dedicated Academic Coordinator who supports you throughout your studies.

They are your first port of call for all queries about life at Metanoia except for those directly related to your programme; those are best directed towards your Primary Tutor (see below) or your Head of Programmes.

Your primary tutor is a member of your teaching team, working with you throughout the academic year. They will get to know you in depth and meet with you on a regular basis. They provide individual personal tuition, academic support, and personalised developmental feedback.

Our Registry team manages your student record and supports key processes throughout your time at Metanoia. 

They can help with: 

  • Enrolment and registration 
  • Transcripts, certificates and official letters 
  • Student ID cards and travel discounts (including TOTUM) 
  • Assessment processes, including mitigating circumstances and appeals 
  • Complaints and formal procedures 
  • Data protection

They can support you with: 

  • Mental health and emotional wellbeing 
  • Disabilities and long-term health conditions 
  • Neurodiversity 
  • Learning support plans and reasonable adjustments 
  • Accessing Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA)

You don’t need to wait until things feel overwhelming – early support makes a real difference.

If you need to report a case of sexual harassment or misconduct, or wish to find out more about sexual harassment and misconduct, how to recognise them, and what support is available, then head to our dedicated page via the link below:
