You might face challenges or personal barriers that could have a negative impact on your overall well-being and studies.

At Student Development and Support we offer several services and interventions that will equip you with skills to deal with those barriers and challenges in a positive way.

SDS are there to support you throughout your academic journey from orientation to graduation.

All our services are free to TUT students!

Through our mentor training programme we equip mentors for the vital role that they play within the TUT family.

Mentors are senior students who provide basic support to first- years academically and emotionally.

We offer Life Skills, a compulsory first-year module, that aims to nurture the competencies and skills needed to be an effective student at university.

Facilitated in a highly interactive and blended way, this module addresses issues that most first-years struggle with like managing the workload, making friends and so forth.
