Tutors

Your Tutor is your representative in College and in the University, and takes an interest in your wellbeing and progress and can offer help and advice on any matter - academic, social, financial, medical or personal.


A Tutor's key roles include:
  • ​Advising on academic issues, work/life balance etc.
  • Helping you negotiate all aspects of College and University Administration
  • Offering support if you face personal difficulties, such as homesickness, bereavement or relationship trouble.
  • Supporting you in extracurricular activities and advising on applications for travel grants and funds.
  • Supporting you in applications for maintenance bursaries and other funding and advising on financial problems.
  • Acting as a referee in job applications (for postgraduate students the course director or supervisor will usually be the most appropriate person to ask) .
  • Representing your interests if you get into trouble with the College, University, or Police.
  • Supporting you (and if necessary liaising with your Director of Studies, your Department or the University) should you be taken ill.
  • Offering advice if you are considering changing subjects.

Your personal Tutor will deal sensitively with any issue, but if you prefer to discuss a particular matter with any other Tutor, you are welcome to contact them.


Contact your Tutor

Please use Email in the first instance to contact your Tutor (see list below)

Undergraduate students must see their Tutor at the beginning and end of each term. They will also be happy to meet you at any other point. It is important that you get to know each other so that you have a good basis to work together to deal with any issue that may arise.
