Director of Studies
Every new student is appointed a Director of Studies (DoS), a member of the teaching staff who provides you with academic guidance.
Your Director of Studies is available as your first point of contact if you have any concerns or problems that might be affecting your studies.
He or she can also advise on what possible subject choices to make throughout your degree.
Meeting your Director of Studies
You should first meet your DoS in the two weeks before the first semester begins. Normally, you will have the responsibility of making an appointment for this first meeting.
You can contact your DoS at any time during the semester to arrange another meeting.
Whatever you discuss with your DoS remains confidential.
Detailed advice
It is possible that the questions you bring to your DoS require detailed responses.
In most cases they will provide the answers, however there may be occasions where your DoS refers to you another source of support.
This might be a University support office, the Advice Place, the Careers Office or a study support advisor, for example.
