Quotes

A spokesman for Universities Scotland added: "The health and wellbeing of their students is of the upmost importance to all of Scotland’s universities. All universities take their duty of care very seriously and have in place a range of student support services including a dedicated, confidential counselling service for students to provide help and advice on a range of issues whether personal or academic. Any student who feels they have mental health issues are encouraged to seek help from their institution and should do so without the fear of being stigmatised."
