From your first day, you will have a welcome team within the Tutoring Plan that is designed to help you adapt to the University. Each academic year you will have a tutor to talk to if you need it. They are usually Faculty lecturers who teach subjects in that particular year of study.
Lecturers are responsible for holding academic tutorials on the subjects they teach. These meetings focus on answering queries or issues concerning understanding the subject matter or guidance and follow up on projects and assignments. See your lecturers’ office hours and the office number on the academic staff profiles. Tutors’ duties: Your tutor is the person who will assess you individually or as a group on academic, personal and/or professional aspects. Tutors act as an interlocutor with the Dean's Office, the Secretariat and the rest of the academic staff. They also manage and collaborate in actions aimed at helping you improve in the Faculty. Your tutor will be, ultimately, the person you can turn to when you have a problem or concern of any kind (learning, personal issues affecting your academic performance, new initiatives, proposals for improvement, etc.). See team of tutors Timetable The timetable for face-to-face tutoring depends on each tutor, and it is necessary to make an appointment by email.
In addition to assistance from your faculty tutors, the university offers you the Student Guidance and Support Service. This service aims to support and assist you in making decisions that affect your academic performance and personal well being. The Student Guidance and Support Service also has a psychology section for student consultation. This service is offered free of charge, anonymously and in full confidentiality. A PhD in Psychology is on hand to discuss all types of problems- emotional, social or academic- as well as your self-improvement and personal development. www.sou.deusto.es
