Student support at NMITE
Our student support services are your number one go to contacts for anything you need help with – or just want to talk about – while you’re at NMITE.
From now until the day you leave, and every step of the way in between, this fantastic group of friendly and committed individuals are dedicated to creating a positive NMITE experience for everyone. The Student Team works closely with the NMITE Academic Team, the NMITE's Academic Skills and Knowhow Centre (ASK), NMITE departments and any relevant external agencies, but will always respect your individual privacy.
If they don’t know have the answer, they’ll know who will!
Get to know the team and find out about some of the initiatives and resources available to our students below.
