Man having a chat with his tutor on an online call
Our students tell us their tutor’s support is the most valuable element of their study. Your university experience wouldn’t be the same without their expertise.
From support, feedback and tutorials, they’re here to guide you through your modules.
For each module you study with us, you’ll be assigned a tutor. Before you start, your tutor will get in contact to welcome you to the module. They’ll clarify when and how to contact them, and how quickly they’ll reply to you.
Your tutor should always be the first person you speak to if you need academic advice or guidance. They’re there to work with you and understand the specific challenges you’re facing.
You may be invited to attend additional learning events, such as day schools or field trips to museums or art galleries.
Some of our modules also include residential schools where you’ll get the opportunity to develop your practical skills and meet other students.

Starting this degree was the best thing I could have done. The support has been amazing. You can always ask questions through email or the tutor forums, and the tutors will always help you as much as they can.
