Personal Tutors
Every undergraduate student in the Dyson School of Design Engineering is assigned a Personal Tutor upon commencing the programme. The personal tutor teams are drawn from the academic and teaching staff at the School and are available to support students with personal matters, general academic queries, and professional development. Meetings are timetabled between students and personal tutorials each term. Through regular contact and the establishment of a supportive and professional relationship, the Personal Tutors maintain an overview of their tutees’ academic progress, development and wellbeing.
