Academic personal tutoring is a crucial aspect of how the University supports you, helping you fulfil your academic and personal potential.
How can academic personal tutors help me?
You can speak to your academic personal tutor about:
- planning which modules to take
- choosing option modules
- gaining further study skills
- any matters affecting your studies
Your tutor can also direct you to other University support services or put you in touch with a senior tutor, disability learning support, or the University’s counselling service for specialist advice, if appropriate.
Who is my academic personal tutor?

- log in to My Student RecordLogin to my student record
