The aim of our personal tutoring programme is to provide our students with appropriate and personalised developmental support and to encourage you to reach your academic potential.

Personal tutoring for undergraduate students is composed of pastoral tutoring sessions and academic skills sessions. For postgraduate students the sessions focus mainly on pastoral matters.

All undergraduate students in the school should receive similar numbers and times of pastoral tutorials. The sessions at the start of the year are group tutorials, then later in the year, you will have individual sessions.

The academic skills sessions will differ across programmes, to reflect the unique skills required in each discipline.

All sessions should be timetabled. Further information on personal tutoring can be accessed on the central personal tutoring page.

Your engagement with personal tutoring

You should make all reasonable efforts to prepare for and attend all scheduled meetings with your personal tutor, and to keep your personal tutor informed of personal development progress. 

Your personal tutor is a contact for you when things are going well, and they can support you when things aren't going well.

Learning Development

We have a Learning Development team based in the library. The team supports our students to develop the skills needed to be more confident in your studies as well as providing resources and ideas to help you manage your studies, and virtual study sessions.
