Welcome to the Department of Computing webpages on student wellbeing. We believe that successful students require both excellent academic and pastoral support. On these pages, you will find information on where to find wellbeing support in the department and in the wider College. You will also find information on external organisations, under ‘other sources of help’. See ‘Events’ for information on upcoming events, such as workshops and training, and ‘Newsletters’ contains the archive of old Newsletters.
Personal Tutors (undergraduate and postgraduate students)
Your personal tutor is there to support you in your personal, general academic, and professional development. Through regular contact and the establishment of a supportive and professional relationship, the Personal Tutors maintain an overview of their tutees' academic progress and development as well as an overview of their tutees' wellbeing.
