1. How can the Academic Advisor support me

Students are entitled to academic and pastoral support during their stay at Queen Mary University of London. This takes the form of regular or ad-hoc contact with members of staff as well as support from the University central services. Student support within the School of Economics and Finance is structured around a network of Academic Advisors, the Student Support Officer (SSO) and coordinated by the senior tutor.

Your advisor is your first and continuing point of contact with the academic staff and making contact with them at an early stage is very important.

Your advisor is there to offer advice on your academic progress, as well as to provide pastoral support. Your advisor is the 'go-to' person when you face a difficulty, and can help you connect with professional services (or to the SSO and the Senior Tutor) when needed.
