About Avery Hill Student Centre

The Student Finance staff in the Centre can provide you with advice and information services to help you to develop budgeting skills and access to forms of financial assistance via a daily counter service, one-to-one appointments and drop-in sessions at these times:

Your International Team are Amanda and Isaac. You can book appointments to see them by popping in to the Student Centre or telephoning 0208 331 9457 or 0208 331 9444.

For those students who need to complete a Criminal Records Bureau check before they join a course, we offer a checking service to make sure you have completed the form correctly. Once you have accepted an offer of a place (usually after an interview) we will include the dates for this service in the information pack we send to you.
