University customisation

Supporting students' physical and mental health remains high on the agenda in UK higher education.

But to make sure students can get the right help at the right time, they need to know where they can go for support.

To make it easy for students to find local services, universities and colleges can now easily signpost students by adding their own 'customised' pages to our student-facing apps.

Customise apps for your college or university

Inform students about available local support:

• signpost local services - raise awareness of where students can get help, especially when in a crisis
• link to your website - make all your pages easy to find
• add your institutional branding - show you care and give students a feeling of belonging

Why apps rather than print or websites?

Make use of apps specially built for iPhone and Android that:

• provide a better user experience than web or print
• are easy to distribute and available offline
• allow easy navigation with relevant information in one place

Choose from different apps

Add customised pages to any of our free-to-download student-facing apps:

• Student Health App (UK) - physical and mental health information for UK students
• International Student App (UK) - for international and European Students studying in the UK
• Student Health Matters App (Ireland) - health advice for students in Ireland
• distrACT - supporting students and other people who self-harm and may feel suicidal
