Support for everyone!
Student Wellbeing Support
Your health and wellbeing are our top priorities, too! We know you have a life beyond the classroom. If any issues come up during your time with us, we’re here to offer you the direct support you need.
You can make us aware of any support requirements before you start with us. If you would like to speak to us confidentially, please contact a member of our Wellbeing Team by calling 01642 333868 or emailing swo@mbro.ac.uk.
Additional Learning Support
We are committed to fostering a community that warmly embraces diversity. Our trained staff offer advice, guidance, and support to all students, including those with sensory or mobility differences, long-term medical conditions, neurodiversity, or mental health conditions.
Depending on your individual requirements, we can provide a range of services, including advice on applying for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA) to cover the costs of additional study support. For more information, contact us on 01642 333889 or emailing HE-als@mbro.ac.uk.

We offer a Student Counselling Service to help you with any difficulties you may experience. This service is available to all students and is free and confidential.

We are proud to offer all students on a Level 4 or Level 5 course, or Level 6 full-time course, access to our free laptop loan scheme. Each device comes with Office 365 pre-installed, ensuring you have the tools you need to succeed.

UCM Success Stories
What I enjoy most about the course is the flexibility it offers, allowing me to study while working full-time and being a parent. The small class sizes enable me to ask questions without hesitation, providing me with extra support on a one-on-one basis.
Daniela Pestana Whiting, BA (Hons) Business Management (Top-up)
If you’re deciding between a big University and somewhere like University Centre Middlesbrough at Middlesbrough College, choose UCM. The belief that the staff have in you from day one is unbelievable. The tutors go above and beyond, and I wouldn’t be where I am without them.
Peter Banks, HNC in Computing (Network Engineering)
As well as the academic skills, I also learned so many skills that are important for the industry I’m going into, including processes that social workers have to follow, how to conduct an assessment of needs, and how to write up a care plan for a patient.
Sophie Hardesty, Certificate in Higher Education in Health, Wellbeing and Social Care
I wouldn’t have been able to get by in industry without the core skills I learnt on my course, from software knowledge to plugins, recording skills, and presentations.
Niall Coates, BSc (Hons) Music Technology
