General Academic Advice

All students are encouraged to seek informal advice from academic staff throughout their studies.

Programme Director

The Programme Director provides academic leadership for your programme, including:

  • Overseeing programme content and structure
  • Implementing improvements based on student feedback
  • Offering guidance on overall academic progress

If you have concerns that cannot be resolved by your Module Convenor, or if your query relates to your overall programme, please contact the Programme Director. They are available during term time and can offer general academic advice and support.

Academic staff may also refer students to the Programme Director if they believe a student is struggling. In some cases, issues may be escalated to the School of Law’s Director of Teaching and Learning or a relevant committee.

Module Convenors

Your first point of contact for any questions or concerns about a specific module.

  • Each module has a designated Module Convenor, typically a member of the CCLS academic staff.
  • In some cases, teaching may be delivered by Academic Leads (affiliated or external academics), who work closely with the Module Convenor.

How They Support You

  • Provide guidance on teaching, assessment, and module content
  • Address special requirements or academic concerns
  • Offer feedback and support after assessments
  • Refer you to additional support services if needed

Module Convenors hold regular office hours during term time. Check your module page or contact them via email to arrange a meeting.

For most module-related queries, your Module Convenor should be your first point of contact.
For programme-wide concerns, contact your Programme Director.
If the matter remains unresolved, it may be referred to the Director of Teaching and Learning.
