Adviser of Studies
As soon as you register with us you will be allocated an Adviser of Studies. You can easily find out who this is by logging in to your MyCampus account.
Your Adviser of Studies is there to help you with problems you might experience which affect your ability to study. They are your point of contact for support relating to academic progress, curriculum choices and career matters, and can signpost towards additional support for health or personal circumstance issues. Your Adviser of Studies will not be able to help with problems relating to specific course material, you should contact the course lecturer directly about this.
During the first two weeks of the semester you will be contacted by your Adviser of Studies and invited to a brief introductory meeting.
