Personal Tutors

Each student is allocated a personal tutor who is available for advice, information or assistance throughout the year. Your personal tutor will arrange to meet you at the beginning of the session and one-on-one tutorials will be arranged from time to time during the year to talk about general progress and anything which may be worrying you, e.g. module choices, dissertation topics and assessed work.

If you have a personal problem which could affect your performance on the course, e.g. health, family, relationship, you should make sure your personal tutor knows about it. It is sensible to make an appointment since all staff have commitments that do not appear on the timetable, but if you think the matter is urgent please approach us at any time.

If you are unsure about who to approach, in the first instance try to see or e-mail your personal tutor, or if they are not available your Programme Coordinator, but you may talk to any member of staff you think may be able to help. Matters of general interest or concern may be taken up with the Departmental Staff/Student Committee student representatives or staff representatives.

All staff are contactable via e-mail for quick enquiries and information (please note however, that e-mail should NOT be used to submit coursework or dissertations).

In exceptional circumstances, students may change their personal tutor during the academic year. If you feel that there is valid reason to change personal tutor, please discuss the issue with the relevant Programme Coordinator or the Academic Support Officer.
