Meet your Student AdviserÌý

Student Advisers, based in your department, support your transition to university life. If you start in September, your Student Adviser will run an online event before you arrive. You’ll meet your Adviser, find out what they do and meet other students in your cohort. These events usually run two weeks before the start of term. You will be contacted by your department or Student Adviser with information about this event.Ìý

If you start in January, you can meet your Student Adviser at events they'll run as part of theÌýÌýBeat the January Blues campaign.Ìý
