About PLUS Online

PLUS is a website that helps people to learn how to deal with the challenges of student living. It was designed to help students to find out more about their strengths and weaknesses and prepare themselves for university.

PLUS stands for Personality and Living of University Students and is part of a study about risk factors and the prevention of common mental health problems in students. We want to learn more about what happens during the first years to help future students deal with the lifestyle change. This project was developed with support and funding from the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health.

The NIHR created twelve Biomedical Research Centres in the first competition within leading NHS and University partnerships to drive progress on innovation and translational research in biomedicine.
