Supporting students throughout their university journey
Access to higher education is only the beginning. Students also need appropriate guidance, support and opportunities to participate fully in university life and complete their studies.
The Maldives National University is committed to providing students with access to information and support that can help them navigate academic, personal and practical challenges during their time at university.
Academic and personal support
MNU’s Student Support platform helps students identify where to seek assistance with academic concerns, personal wellbeing and technical issues.
Students can use the platform to find guidance and connect with the appropriate university service. Early engagement can help students identify available options when challenges begin to affect their learning or participation. Read more
