FCH staff and subject coordinators

Every FCH student has at least one personal tutor - you may have a tutor in one or both of your main subjects, it depends on the subjects you take.

Personal Tutors (some departments call them Academic Tutors) are there to support your academic development and progress, and as the first port of call for pastoral guidance.

Personal tutors are usually FCH subject co-ordinators, so they can help with both academic aspects of your studies and personal issues. 

They help with your development and getting the most out of your time at university. This is often referred to as personal development planning (PDP) - and the University offers many resources for this.

We try to make sure you have the same tutor throughout your time at the university, so that a good relationship can be built up and tutors can write a meaningful reference for you when you are applying for things after university.

There are also a very large range of Student Support services on campus should you ever feel you need extra support in your social life or studies.
