We understand the demands and pressures on our students and aim to do all we can to support you through your training with us.
- All students have a personal tutor who meets with them regularly to discuss their progress. The tutors will explore your response to the varied elements of the course, provide informed feedback on your progress and discuss any difficulties. This could include management of workload in connection with personal and professional responsibilities, the impact of learning about psychological disturbance on the individual's own life and work, and anxieties about the assessment requirements, especially for students who have little experience of formal written work.
- Tutorials are held at least termly: these are arranged in advance and are for set times, for half an hour or an hour. Extra tutorials can be arranged if necessary.
- Personal tutors also provide guidance on career plans, references as requested, and advice about job interviews. Your personal tutor is assigned to you at the start of your course.
The arrangements for academic guidance and tutorial support have been organised to reflect the needs of our predominantly professional, part-time and mature student body.
