Meet the Staff
During your time at university you will meet lecturers, technical and administrative support staff. They are all willing to help, if at all possible, and their areas of responsibility are largely self-explanatory.
Use your judgement about who you should approach with particular queries. You will meet academic staff in lectures, practical classes and tutorials, as appropriate, for each module. They come in various guises and fit into a "hierarchy" which is not necessarily fixed.
Administrative Staff
The School Office (H608) assist students with a wide range of enquiries; however more in-depth academic related enquiries should be made to your Personal Tutor or Course Leader.
Personal Tutors
Your Personal Tutor should be one of your first ports of call when you need help.
Course Leaders
Course leaders are responsible for their degree programme within the school. Everyday queries can be handled by a specific lecturer, a module leader or personal tutor. A course leader’s task is to oversee their degree programme that they are responsible for, not to answer questions on detailed module content.
Module Leaders
Module leaders are responsible for the overall administration and content of any particular module. Specific questions about the module should be addressed either to the person lecturing on a particular sub-topic within the module, or to the module leader.
Personal Tutors
A Personal Tutor is the member of staff who should be one of your first ports of call, unless the issue is best addressed by another lecturer or a Module Leader. They may, or may not, also be a Module Leader or Course Leader! Again, use your judgement and common sense.
