Academic and Administrative Advice
Do you need academic or administrative advice?
Administrative advice
You need administrative advice if you have a query relating to a procedural matter, eg 'how do I go about...?'.
Academic staff are experts in their discipline whose time is divided between teaching and research. Before approaching an academic staff member with a routine query please consider whether the information you are seeking is readily available elsewhere, eg in the unit outline, from an administrative staff member, on the web or in the Handbook. Don't be shy about approaching the Postgraduate and Undergraduate Office administration teams - they are a valuable source of expertise that is available to you.
Academic advice
You need academic advice if you have a query relating to the academic content of your course, eg:
- discipline boundaries and relationships
- degree structures, progression rules and completion requirements
- your performance and assessment requirements
- credit for previous studies and exemptions
- career pathways and professional accreditation
- study abroad, cross institutional study, concurrent study etc
