Personal Tutors

Who is my Personal Tutor?

Each student is allocated a Personal Tutor at Warwick. Usually, this is a member of the academic staff in your department.
[Include details of how students will find out who their personal tutor is - e.g. via Tabula or during Welcome Week]

What is their role?

Your Personal Tutor is your first point of contact within the department to discuss any issues that arise, whether pastoral or academic.
You can draw on their experience and expertise as and when you need – they are your ongoing individual face-to-face relationship within the department and are here to support you throughout your time at Warwick.
They are also the most obvious person to provide references for you after you graduate, so it is worthwhile investing time into developing a strong working relationship.

When will we meet?

[Outline when your students will meet their personal tutor and how frequently they'll meet during term time]
You may request additional meetings as and when you need them.

How will we meet?

[Outline any details on how these will be conducted e.g. in person v online, group v 1-1]
[You can also include a link to your department's staff list, should you have one]

Wellbeing & Disability Support

Starting university is an exciting time, but we understand that it can also be challenging. Whether you’re experiencing a pastoral or welfare issue, Warwick’s central student wellbeing services can provide a range of different support options. Find out more on their central webpages.

Resources and information on the transition support webpages can also help, not only in your first few weeks, but throughout your Warwick journey. Find out more here.

Similarly, check out this new resource from Student Mindson helping the transition to university.
