    • What is an Academic Advisor?

      At the start of your degree, you will be assigned an advisor. This person will stay the same across the whole time on the degree, and you can see who your  advisor is in MySIS. 

      Your advisor can provide you with guidance and support during your studies. They are the first person to contact when you have any questions that you're not sure who to ask. They can help support you if you are having difficulties with your studies, or if you are having personal problems (e.g. health or family issues) that might impact your ability to study. They can also help you decide which third year electives to choose, and can write you a reference for jobs or postgraduate applications (if you ask them first!). 

      Your advisor will check in with you at regular points throughout the year. It's important to engage with these check-in moments! This way, your advisor will know whether you're doing okay or whether you need any help, and can support you as best as possible. 

    • What is a Year tutor?

      There are three Year tutors across the whole BSc Psychology; one for each year of studying. The year tutor is someone who will provide an extra layer of support for you. They will be in regular contact with the student representatives of your year to check if there are any issues or concerns that affect the whole year group. You can also go to your Year tutor if you have issues you would rather not discuss with your advisor, or if your advisor has not been able to help.
