Departmental Pastoral Support
- Our Student Support and Progression Officers are here to help you with any personal, academic, or wellbeing concerns. You can get in touch with them by emailing economics.pastoral@warwick.ac.uk.
- We also run academic and pastoral drop-in sessions twice daily during term time. These are a great opportunity to speak to someone in person if you need support or just want a chat.
- If you're facing any difficulties that could affect your studies—such as problems with attendance, deadlines, or exams — please submit a mitigating circumstances form via the Personal Circumstances tab on Tabula. A member of the Pastoral Team will then get in touch with you to offer support and discuss next steps. Click here to find out more about mitigating circumstances.
