Support available

• Support within your School

  Advisor of studies can help you with module choices and to provide guidance in academic matters, e.g., requirements of your degree programme, progression between stages, resit examinations, change of programme, permissions of absence during term time, temporary withdrawal, etc. In particular, your choice of modules, as well as any changes, must always be approved by your AoS. Students should meet with their AoS at least once a year at enrolment before the start of the academic year.

  Personal tutor can support you in your transition from School or other previous occupation to Higher Education. During your first year,  personal tutor meetings will be held throughout term. The aim of these meetings is to provide regular contact with a member of staff in a small-group setting.

  Module convenor can help students with information around assignment and assessment guidelines for a module.

  You can check who has been assigned to you by accessing your Student Centre in QSIS. Staff lookup can be used to access their contact details.  If you are unsure who is your Personal Tutor or Advisor of Studies and can't find the information on QSIS, your School Office will be able to help you.
