<ul>
<li>Each student enrolling on the course will be allocated a personal tutor who will normally retain pastoral responsibility for that student throughout the three years of the course. Personal tutors are responsible for reviewing the academic progress of a student and for offering advice and support on academic and non-academic matters.  Where professional help seems advisable, tutors can refer a student to the University Student Services.</li>
<li>The personal tutor is also responsible for administering Personal Development Planning (PDP) for his/her tutees. The provision of PDP at undergraduate level is adapted to the 2004 QAA Code of Practice for the Assurance of Academic Quality and Standards in Higher Education, which provides students with ‘appropriate opportunities for personal and professional development’, and that institutions provide for the identification, regular review and recording of each student’s development needs.</li>
</ul>
PDP is embedded into modules Individual Learning Programme at Foundation level, Work-Related Project at Intermediate Level, and Public Humanities at Honours level.
 
<ul>
<li>Module tutors are responsible for monitoring students’ performance and attendance, and systems are in place for reporting problems in either so that Year Tutors and/or the Course Leader are alerted to causes of concern.</li>
