Personal Advisors
Your Personal Advisor (normally the same person throughout your course) offers you advice on academic matters, personal problems (if needed), and is your main link to the School and the University. You must meet your Personal Advisor at regular intervals (at least twice per 
semester) during your programme and should prepare for each meeting by starting to fill in the appropriate meeting form on “My intranet”. When you are making applications for summer work, placements, jobs, or further degrees, your Personal Advisor should know you well enough to write an informed reference. There is a mechanism within the intranet meeting forms for you to provide your Personal Advisor with a CV, which you should update regularly, especially towards the end of your Degree Programme. Please see Section Employability Skills.
You should speak to your Personal Advisor about any problems that you are having that are affecting your work (see also Section Work and Attendance Regulations (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) and Section Guidelines on Ill Health).
Senior Advisor
There is also a Senior Advisor for the School who is available (via the Student Support Office) to discuss any particularly serious problems, or anything you would rather not discuss with your Personal Advisor (including the situation where you may feel it necessary to request a change in Personal Advisor).
