The Imperial Success Guide for Master’s Students, and the links below, provide advice about how to approach postgraduate work, as well as indicating the sources of support available to you during your time at Imperial. Helpful advice and information can also be found on:

Personal tutors

All students are allocated a personal tutor to provide pastoral support. Your personal tutor will be available to your throughout the academic year, and you will meet with them at least three times during the first term. They can be the first point of contact if you have specific problems or worries. Dr Ioannis Kountouris and Dr Tilly Collins are also points of contact for support and advice.
