Your physical & mental health
As students we tend to neglect our health, both mental and physical. The university provides places for you to check in on your health and maintain your body & mind healthy.
Counselling Centre
As international students, we may experience loneliness, homesickness and feelings of alienation. Checking in on your mental health is super important. The counselling centre offers counselling for all its students free of charge should you require any counseling while you are here. You can find them on the top floor of the Bantu Stephen Biko building on Prince Alfred Street.
