It is important that you tell your Academic Tutor about any problems you are having with your studies, so that we can help you before it is too late: it is always better to keep us informed of any obstacles you are experiencing rather than leaving it until it has started to seriously affect your academic performance. We are always willing to take special circumstances into account. For help with pastoral care or extenuating circumstances please contact the Student Experience Team
