Who are we?
The GKSU Student Advice Centre is here to provide free, confidential and impartial advice to all University of Greenwich and University of Kent students studying at the Medway Campus.
Our aim is to empower and provide you with quality advice so that you can make an informed decision. We are independent from the university and are your Student Union presence on the Medway Campus.
We are accredited via the Advice Quality Standard (AQS) and are members of the National Association of Money Advisers (NASMA) and Advice UK.
Advice we offer
Advice is offered on a range of topics, including academic, finance, student funding, and housing. We also offer immigration advice to University of Kent students (University of Greenwich students can access their immigration advice service via their International Student Advice Service).
We encourage students to read through our internet content first, before contacting us, as you may find your answers on our pages.
