Advice
Academic Advice
Each
department / school has an International Student Study Adviser / Erasmus
co-ordinator.
Your tutor will help you draw up your academic programme of study at
Reading and will ensure that reports and grades for your work are transmitted to
your home university.
The
Reading International Office
receives your initial application,
registers you as a student here, helps arrange accommodation and provides
the documentation you will need including email addresses. Your
tutor, the Programme Manager and her colleagues work together to help you
make the best use of the time you spend at Reading, and it is to them you should
turn first in case of general problems.
Pastoral Advice
For
serious personal problems, the University Counselling Service is available to
all students and is staffed by professional counsellors, psychologists and
psychotherapists. You can go and
discuss with them, in complete confidence, any specific problems which might be
troubling you, or simply talk informally about how you are getting on. The University also runs a Learning Resource Centre, which
offers support to students who have study problems or who simply wish to improve
their methods of working.
