Student Support

Student Advisor

Students might be faced with any number or type of issues unrelated to their academic work, which nevertheless have repercussions for their academic performance. Our professional student advisor staff provides a listening ear, coordinates a departmental response or puts in place a practical programme of action when necessary. For more information contact Mrs. Maxine David

Peer Mentoring

For some students entering their first year at university, the prospect of starting a course in a new environment may seem daunting. In a bid to ease this transition, the department offers a peer mentoring scheme where current students provide support to new arrivals. Natalie de Freitas (3rd year student) adds: “The student mentors aim to offer advice about studying and settling into university life as an alternative mode of support in a relaxed and relatable fashion. We mentors aim to advise our peers using our own experiences, mistakes and successes in order to provide an alternative form of support for new students who are starting their own exciting university experience, just as we did.” For more information contact Mrs. Maxine David
