Your Student Adviser

All our taught students have a Student Adviser to provide them with direct support throughout their time at University.

Your Student Adviser is your contact throughout your time at the University of Edinburgh. They provide guidance and support to you at key points in your study journey, or with changes to your personal circumstances.  

Your Student Adviser will get in touch with you before the academic year begins to introduce themselves. They will continue to be in touch at key points throughout the year, and you can also contact them any time you need support.  

Your Student Adviser’s contact details are available on the Studies tab on MyEd.

Your Student Adviser can help you access the wider University support services where needed.

Both ResLife and Wellbeing Service staff are specially trained to support you if you experience issues that affect your health, wellbeing, or personal life during your time at University.

Other College and School support 

Your School’s Student Support Team can provide you with support for routine enquiries and non-academic issues.
