Student wellbeing
However you’re feeling and whatever you’re going through, we’re here to support you.
We understand that sometimes you might want a helping hand. That’s why our friendly and fantastic support network is here should you ever need it. From study skills to mental health and every aspect of student life, our dedicated wellbeing teams are ready to provide confidential support and guidance throughout your studies.
Whichever college you choose to study at, you will have access to an on-site team of Wellbeing and Learning Support advisors. You’re never alone when you’re at BIMM. Our community makes sure of that.
Supporting your journey
We’re here to make sure you have access to the support you need to succeed and get the most out of your studies.
We’re committed to a policy of equal opportunities. This means we aim to make all our services available to every student, regardless of background, culture, gender or sexuality. Discover some of the ways we help our students below.
At BIMM, your wellbeing is a priority.
If you find yourself struggling, it’s always better to talk to someone. Our dedicated wellbeing advisors are trained in listening skills and can offer a safe, confidential space to talk through any challenges you’re facing. Whether it’s concerning your mental health, adjusting to life away from home, financial concerns, personal issues, or simply needing someone to listen, they’re here to help.
We offer advice, guidance, and referrals to our counselling service through private, one-to-one wellbeing tutorials.
Our dedicated Learning Support teams offer active and effective support to students impacted by neurodiversity, disabilities, special educational needs, learning differences, and mental health conditions.
We’re committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all students to succeed in their studies, providing tailored support to address any additional challenges they may encounter.
We encourage you to disclose your condition as early as possible in the application process so we can work with you to put in any support you might need before you arrive.
As part of our student enrichment, our Wellbeing teams host and coordinate a variety of activities, workshops and awareness campaigns. From quiz nights, therapy dog sessions, seasonal pop-ups, as well as introductions to the Wellbeing service during Freshers.
We’re here to help if you’re making the leap and joining us from another country. Before you arrive, you can contact the team for advice about life in Dublin and upcoming events that will help you settle in.
Our popular Peer Mentor Scheme is here to ensure you have a smooth transition as possible into BIMM life. You’ll be sent information on how to sign up for the scheme with your Induction and Freshers information pack.
You’ll be paired with a second, third or fourth year student of BIMM Music Institute Dublin (your mentor), along with other first-year students, for a fun group activity to get to know people before classes start. Then throughout the year, you’ll have access to your mentor for advice, guidance, and support. They know exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes!
So, who better to provide all the insider information required to walk through our doors and feel right at home?
BIMM students have access to Togetherall, a digital mental health support service which is available online, 24/7 and is completely anonymous so you can express yourself freely and openly.
Mental health professionals monitor the community to ensure the safety and anonymity of all members.
In addition to Togetherall’s online community, you will have access to a wealth of useful resources and can work through tailored self-help courses covering topics such as anxiety, sleep, weight management, depression and many more.
The BIMM University Wellbeing Strategy sets out our direction, priorities and goals as we continually develop a supportive and inclusive culture across the university. This ensures that every student feels that they are able to thrive, regardless of any challenges they may face during their academic journey.
