All students are assigned a personal tutor who is an academic staff member in your department. Your personal tutor is your first port of call for academic, pastoral, or general queries and will be there to support you with both academic and personal matters, take an interest in your progress, and offer guidance on your personal development. They can also be a gateway to other forms of help and support (academic and pastoral) at the university.
