Meet our postgraduate staff

Postgraduate Senior Tutor
Senior Tutor

The Senior Tutor acts as a secondary point of contact for more difficult academic and personal issues. They will approve any changes to your programme of study or modules, and can offer advice on central College regulations, policies and procedures. They provide more specialist support for serious academic and personal problems. They also chair the Student-Staff Liaison Committee.

Director of Taught Postgraduate Studies
Director of Taught Postgraduate Studies

The principal responsibility of the Director of Taught Postgraduate Studies is to ensure the smooth running of the postgraduate degree programmes offered in the School. This role is, therefore, primarily administrative. If students have problems with their programme of study, they should consult their advisor in the first instance. However, an advisor may recommend that a student consult the Director of Postgraduate Studies where more general problems with the structure and/or content of the Masters degree programme are involved.
