Department Counsellors

Please note that most departments continue operating virtually. Please email them rather than visiting their offices. If they are seeing students face to face they will let you know.

Each department has counsellors to answer your inquiries about courses and modules, such as:

  • Advice on progression and course selection within your  module
  • Taking a course without the pre-requisite
  • Course substitutions (discussing taking a different course than what is normally required in your module)
  • Problems with course registration (for example, a course is full)
