Reviews into student deaths highlight concerns over its fitness to study process.

The university's head of student support said it had "invested significantly more resources" to help students

In a meeting after the first four deaths, the minutes noted "there were no obvious common factors among all four cases", but five "themes" were identified which were redacted in the response to the BBC, with similar themes identified after the fifth death. It also included questions over how to support staff to "keep student population safe" and how to communicate "more effectively" with out-of-area services for continuity of care.

Last year, Natalie Acton, head of student support, said the university had "invested significantly more resources in student support", had increased the number of counsellors and said any student who referred themselves for counselling would be seen within 10 working days.
