Whether you're finding it challenging to manage your workload or just need some academic advice, there are plenty of support services at Leciester to help you. 

Your personal tutor

Your personal tutor can provide help and advice about your studies by discussing your study skills, helping you to understand assignment feedback, turning it into actionable goals, and helping you find additional resources such as books and articles. To make the most of your sessions, see our guide to using your tutor effectively.
