Academic Cohort Lead

Your Cohort Lead is an academic member of staff who works alongside your Student Adviser and wider programme team to provide academic support and development.

Who is my Cohort Lead

Your Academic Cohort Lead is your Programme Director, Deputy Director or an academic member of staff on your programme. Your programme team will inform you of your cohort lead at the beginning of the academic year.

Role of Cohort Lead

Your Cohort Lead will organise academic-related activities bringing you together with your fellow students during the year.
