Personal Tutors

Every undergraduate student in the Dyson School of Design Engineering is assigned a Personal Tutor upon commencing the programme. The personal tutor teams are drawn from the academic and teaching staff at the School and are available to support students with personal matters, general academic queries, and professional development. Meetings are timetabled between students and personal tutorials each term. Through regular contact and the establishment of a supportive and professional relationship, the Personal Tutors maintain an overview of their tutees’ academic progress, development and wellbeing.

Student Reps

In Design Engineering, there is usually one Academic and one Wellbeing Representative for each year or study, as well as an Academic and Wellbeing Representative for the department.

Wellbeing Reps help to raise awareness of any issues affecting student wellbeing and can signpost you to further support from the Wellbeing Adviser.

Academic Reps can signpost you to further support and use your feedback to inform academic staff on issues that students face, including assessments, learning experience, resources and academic experience.
