Student wellbeing

I'm Geethma, Bioengineering's Student Wellbeing Adviser and Disability Officer.

I'm here to offer confidential support for anything affecting your well-being, whether academic or personal. If I can't help directly, I'll guide you to the right services or staff.

As your disability officer, I’m also here to assist with exam adjustments or any other support you may need.
