Pastoral Support

As a part of our system of pastoral care, every student is allocated a Personal Tutor. During Academic Week 1, you should have a group or individual meeting with your Personal Tutor. You can find out who your Personal Tutor is via Tabula. You will receive an email to confirm when and where your meeting will take place from the Postgraduate Office.

Please note that it is partly your responsibility to make sure you see your personal tutor during these weeks. After your meeting you will need to record your attendance on your Tabula page and your tutor will need to approve it.

This meeting will give you a chance to meet other students in your year and also ask any questions that you have not yet had answered.

If you have any concerns, your Personal Tutor is there to support you. However, if you feel that your problem is more severe, then seeing the Senior Tutor, Dr Mahnaz Nazneen, is advisable; she will then be able to advise you and if necessary, direct you to the appropriate people to offer you further support.

Further information on Departmental pastoral support can be found on the webpage for current students.
