Support for your studies
Our Student Academic Engagement and Wellbeing Policy sets out how we support you to participate fully in your studies so that you can make the most of everything university life has to offer. We ask you to check-in to on-campus teaching sessions to help us quickly identify if it looks like you may be struggling or experiencing difficulties.
Every taught student has a personal supervisor to help and advise you on all aspects of life at university. You should meet with your supervisor regularly and discuss any issues preventing academic progress as well as ways to develop your study skills.
Your college
Your college helps you get involved in student life and is a gateway to explore the wider university community. With a team of staff and student volunteers, your college fosters your sense of belonging, helping you to make friends and try out new things.
