Student Support What happens when I arrive? We put together a programme of lively social activities in your first few days to help you to get to know Ravensbourne and settle into your new life in London. At Ravensbourne, we understand that juggling the demands of your course and dealing with the challenges of daily life can sometimes present issues. We’re here to help you make the most of your time at Ravensbourne with support and guidance on a range of issues. Ravensbourne Students’ Union The RSU is run by students, for students. We strive to ensure that your voices are heard where and when it matters most. We are passionate about issues affecting life and education, as well as promoting general welfare, social, cultural and athletic activities. Welfare and Counselling We’re here to help. Our professional and discreet counselling service seeks to help you overcome any issues you might face in your academic or personal live. Whether this is something emotional, financial or practical, we provide a supportive network of people who will listen and help. We run a number of clubs and societies and organise regular social and welfare events and activities to support you and to put the fun into student life. We’d love you to get involved - as an RSU Officer, a Student Rep for your course or as a volunteer.
