- The office works to inform, educate, and advise students to help them in their studies, it supports them in becoming more efficient in their learning and helps them to successfully complete their study programmes.
- The office offers group and individual activity sessions about issues that students may encounter whilst studying.
- The office organises a student mentoring system for first year students, where they are mentored by final year students who are on the same study programmes.
When studying, it is normal for all students to have questions and concerns about their studies, especially in the first year. For instance, students may have questions about how to send an official e-mail to a member of the teaching staff, or about how to sign up for consultations, or about how to register for exams. They may also have questions about what is expected from them during their studies, such as questions about exams, or queries about how to find accommodation, and possibly even wider questions about student life. Student-mentors are final year students who can give advice and share their own experiences of studying with their younger colleagues. Anyone can apply to be a student-mentor at the beginning of each academic year!
