Your Personal Tutor is able to provide you with academic advice and guidance, and signpost you to the range of specialised central support services for any non-academic matters.  Your Personal Tutor should meet with you within the first two weeks of the programme commencement and at least once per semester thereafter.  Your Personal Tutor will often be your first point of contact, helping you to get the most out of your studies, or for any issues you may be facing.  If you have any personal worries or problems that might affect your learning, you should discuss these in the first instance with your Personal Tutor.  You have the opportunity to change your Personal Tutor should you feel this is necessary and you will not, at the first request, be required to state your reason.

Details on how the personal tutor system works within the School of Healthcare Sciences can be found within the School’s Assessment and Feedback Strategy.  The Module Leader and Programme Manager also play a key role in supporting you in your academic studies.  Information on these roles can be accessed here.
