Marketing and Professional Development
Welcome Week Specifics
Welcome Week is an important time when we will introduce you to your programme. We will also have a range of activities to enable you to meet other students on your course and form across the University. There will be a department introduction w.c. 23rd September, where you can get to know each other and the campus. You will also get to meet your Personal Academic Tutor. Dates on when these sessions will take place will be populated on your timetable.
An Introduction to Your PAT
Every student is assigned a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT). They will be your first point of contact for issues that arise during your degree. We work alongside Student Services – and make referrals to Student Services where necessary – to help you navigate your degree and manage any surprises that life can throw up from time to time.
You'll meet with your PAT when you arrive at university and at least three times a year, but your PAT is always at the end of an email and you may see them more, or less, depending on your circumstances. Your PAT will provide their contact information when you meet them in Welcome Week.
