Academic advising
You'll have an academic advisor who you can turn to if you ever need support for a specific issue.
You will be assigned an academic advisor in your first week with us. Your academic advisor will act as a guide to overcome any issues, be it course related or personal, throughout the MPharm course.
They will explain and help you access the vast array of support services we have at university level.
You will quickly build a trusting relationship with your academic advisor through scheduled tutorials. You can contact your academic advisor at any time outside these tutorials too. You can trust your advisor to keep matters confidential.
The academic advisor tutorials also serve as checkpoints to see whether you are engaging regularly, progressing well and making the best use of your learning environment, or whether you require additional support.
Additional sources of support include the Student Welfare and Professional Support (SWAPS) team, who offer impartial advice and will help you develop transferable skills to enhance your employability prospects.
The Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) scheme and student societies, including the Manchester University Pharmaceutical Society (MUPS), can also provide additional support.
