We’re here to set you up for success and make the most of your opportunities. University can be a tough learning transition, especially if you’re used to acquiring additional help from teachers at high school. Our superior tailored tutorials and academic support from tutors and College staff members will help you achieve academic success.

As important as academic results are, they don’t occur in isolation and won’t be sustainable if you’re not balanced and healthy. Your wellbeing is the foundation for everything you can achieve and become. That’s why we provide a support structure that addresses all aspects of health and personal growth.

We provide:

• 70+ hours of tutorials each week
• Undergraduate and postgraduate tutorials
• Academic mentoring and support
• Guest led masterclasses and presentations
• Cross-cohort academic networking dinners
• Language courses in French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin

Our tutorial program helps you understand your coursework more deeply. It includes course and discipline-based tutorials and drop-in sessions for general support with writing or mathematics.

While university class sizes are expanding, Emmanuel College tutors work with small classes (generally five to six students at most) so that individual student needs can be targeted directly.

Our language tutorials are designed for students are studying a language at university, as well as those who studied languages at school and want to keep up their skills but can’t include languages in their degree. Students with no prior experience are also welcome to attend.

Student wellbeing is our greatest concern and priority. We provide a holistic program of individual care with multiple layers of support.

Our Director of Wellbeing works closely with staff and student leaders to continually enhance and strengthen our Wellbeing Program here at Emmanuel. We aim to provide Emmanuel students with a comprehensive wellbeing program that enables opportunities to strengthen the development of their sense of self, encourages them to explore and understand their own wellbeing. The program is delivered through education, training, life skills, wellness sessions, lectures, and interactive learning both online and face-to-face.

Our program offers support and specialised care when our students need it and is tailored to address the unique needs of adolescents and young adults. Our Dean of Studies is available to help with academic and residential concerns and our College Counsellors are available to support students experiencing personal pressures, stress or anxiety to assist with their mental health and wellbeing. We can also help students with referrals to the most suitable external counsellors and psychologists.

Our Residential Experience Officers are here 24/7 to keep everyone safe and provide practical help when needed. In addition, our Deputy Principal and Director of Wellbeing are available outside of office hours to address any student facing issues which may require additional support.

Students are able to book an appointment with these members of the Student Engagement Team through our online booking system or at the front administration desk.

Emmanuel College has developed a Student Wellbeing Strategy which illustrates our commitment to support our residents in adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours across all aspects of their life. This strategy leads all that we do at Emmanuel, ensuring student wellbeing is at the forefront of the student experience we provide.
