Learning Support
Personal tutors
At the start of your course, you will be assigned to an academic member of staff who will be your personal tutor throughout your degree. Your personal tutor can offer guidance and advice on general academic matters such as module choice, as well as pastoral care while you are at university.
Through a series of regular scheduled meetings they will get to know you well and will typically write your reference for prospective employers when you graduate.
Peer mentoring
New first-year students can choose to be allocated a second-year peer mentor who will guide them through the academic side of life as an economics student in the first semester.
The peer mentoring scheme has motivated and empowered me to understand myself and settle down into university life.
Student feedback
The quality of modules and teaching is continually monitored through student feedback questionnaires. These activities ensure that undergraduate interests are fully represented.
Academic support
The university provides a wide range of academic support, offering a personal and practical approach to academic study and opportunities for students to develop their learning strategies. The university also provides specialist academic support for students with dyslexia, dyspraxia and other Specific Learning Difficulties.
