Pastoral Support and Wellbeing
As a department, we are very proud of our hard working and high achieving students, but exam results are not the only measure for being a successful student. Your physical and mental health should be considered just as important. Here are a variety of ways the department and university can help you.
Departmental Support
Personal Tutors
Your tutor is here to support you with difficulties related to your university career. You must meet with them at least twice per term for updates. There is no formal work involved with the Academic Personal Tutor program.
You should respond promptly to their communications, and keep them informed of any academic or personal problems affecting your performance.
Specific ways in which your personal tutor can help are:
- Providing general academic advice on development, including discussing possible option choices.
- Directing you to the most appropriate service if you experience any personal difficulties.
- Writing a reference letter for job application, grants, or postgraduate study.
