There is a wealth of academic support to help with your transition to university!

During your first couple of weeks, you will receive a big chunk of information which is specific to your course, but here is an overview of a few support opportunities:

• Personal tutors - Every student is assigned a personal tutor. Your personal tutor is your gateway to the wider student support and development provision of the University.

• Peer Mentors - You may be paired with a second or third-year student who are trained to help you settle into your course and student life. Please check the peer mentoring scheme of your school.

• Course representatives (run by the SU) - Students who represent you and your fellow coursemates to feedback your views and push for positive impacts for your course.

• Student services centres - Visit in person or online for advice and support on your academic journey from registration through to graduation. 

• Libraries - The perfect spaces to study and research for both solo and group work. Libraries also offer a range of academic, information and digital skills training short courses.

• Academic Language and Communication Skills (ALACS) - Access a range of more in-depth programmes that will develop your academic and English language skills.
