University can be one of the most exciting chapters of a student’s life but it can also be one of the most demanding. The Science Learning Hub will be a place for students from every scientific discipline to gather, learn, support each other’s mental health and find their community. When students approach their studies with confidence and are surrounded by a like-minded community of peers, they are set up to succeed in both their mental health and academics.

Your support helps create a meaningful impact, as the Faculty of Science responds directly to the academic pressures students face.

Help us create a culture of care in the Faculty of Science, as we build a tutorial centre community that will allow students to thrive.
