Support for Students

The Sharpen Up Your Skills website is a useful place to find out what support is available for students.

PERSONAL TUTORS AND ACADEMIC COUNSELLORS

You should be assigned a personal tutor, who is responsible for advising you on all matters relating to the academic aspects of your course and your progress on it. Your School office will have a list of all personal tutors.

Some schools (e.g. HLSS) also have Academic Counsellors, who are usually senior members of staff, to help students plan their programme of study and sort out any difficulties.
