The University Assistant (UA) has become a huge success over the last five years among students at BCU.

Welcome Week information
Starting University might feel overwhelming with so much new information to take in. That’s why we have everything you need to get familiar with campus and student life within the touch of a button. When you first start, you can use the app to find Welcome Week information, plus, access your new schedule and receive a welcome message from your Course Leader.

Ask us your questions
Lost, confused or have a question to ask? University Assistant has a live chat feature where your query will be handled by our friendly and knowledgeable University Assistant Team. The live chat is answered on weekdays during working hours. You can also use this feature to alert the UA team of any issues that you come across on the app itself. Over the past five years, we've had thousands of queries, so there's not much we can't help with!
