Achieving Satisfactory Course Progress
- Talk to your Lecturers, Tutors, Course Coordinator
Students are encouraged to speak with lecturers or Course Coordinators where they have questions about the content of their unit or results. It is useful to discuss these with your lecturer, tutor or course coordinator.
- Seek help from a Learning Adviser
Learning Advisers are available on each campus to provide specific study skills assistance during the semester.
- Seek advice from an International Student Adviser
Sometimes, often in their first semester, students might feel overwhelmed by the pressures of moving to a foreign country to study. Cultural expectations and academic requirements may be very different from their home country and students may not know where to go for assistance. International Student Advisers are available to assist students on a range of issues. For more information see the Adviser Service.
- Lighten Your Workload
International student visa holders are expected to study in a workload that enables completion in the registered duration of their course see Full-Time/Part Time Study. However, approval can be granted for a reduced study load for students at risk of not meeting satisfactory course progress requirements.
- English Language options
The University offers English units (ESL/EFL) which aim to provide international students with English language and academic study skills. It may be possible to credit these English units to your degree course as an elective. Please discuss this option with your course coordinator.
- Welfare or personal concerns
Counsellors are available for students having personal problems that may be affecting their studies. These services are completely confidential and are provided free of charge by qualified counsellors.
