Personal Tutors Anthropology

Your Personal Tutor is your primary contact for academic and pastoral support. They are a member of academic staff and, for new students, will be in touch in the first week of term to arrange a one-to-one meeting. You will see them at least once a term for meetings in which you can discuss your progress and seek advice on any problems you are facing. You can also get in touch with them at any time during your studies if you are in need of support on academic or pastoral matters. Even if they do not have the power or expertise help you directly, they can direct to you someone who does. 

And for a rough guide of when expect meetings with your personal tutor, see the table below:

Personal Tutor Meeting Schedule

If you want support, you can contact your personal tutor at any time. If needed, your tutor can guide you to Student Wellbeing and you can book an appointment with psychological services.

Student Support and Wellbeing

This UCL team of expert wellbeing, disability and mental health staff provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, in which you can discuss any issues that may be affecting your ability to study.

In this video there's all you need to know about SSW services at UCL. Additionally a new, revisited 'Here to Support You' guide is now available.

You can find contact details and services UCL offers on their website. These comprise therapeutic support and counselling, where you can register with student psychological services, wellbeing and mental healthcrisis support and many more. They also offer a variety of free self-help resources.
