Academic Advisor

Activity: Public, Community and School EngagementPartnership, collaboration, co-production (incl. advisory and focus groups)

Description

When you join the University, you are assigned an Academic Advisor, an academic staff member within your department. They will act as a personalised point of contact, supporting your academic and professional development throughout your journey at Bath.

This might include:

discussing your transition into the University community and your academic studies and progression
discussing with you matters like unit choices, placement opportunities and future career plans
providing you with a reference for work experience, internships, your placement, further studies, or career
guiding you to sources of support with any matters or situations that are negatively impacting your studies
Your academic advisor is not a counsellor and will not know all the answers to your queries, but they can listen and advise you on where to go in the university to receive additional advice and support.

They are one part of your student support network here at Bath, which also includes your Director of Studies, Unit conveners, Student Support, Careers, Skills, MASH, Placements Officers, Student Experience/Support Officers, Security, and ResLife.
