  • Advising systems to be built around programmes of study and for students to be advised by staff from their intended areas of study
  • Decrease the adviser:advisee ratio to 1:25
  • Acknowledge the role of Adviser of Studies as an integral part of a member of staff’s workload, not as an additional role
  • Enhanced role for training and support for Advisers of Studies

The Colleges have adopted these and implemented systems as appropriate to their structures.
