Academic Support is broadly responsible for student administration processes across the University’s programme portfolio. There are 78 staff in the portfolio, split in to 3 main areas of activity:
Faculty-aligned Academic Support
The Academic Support team comprises 44 members of staff located in each

The team’s main responsibilities include maintaining student records; managing
student module choice processes and dealing with programme-specific student
enquiries; applying University regulations correctly and consistently,
including the administration of the academic misconduct process; the planning
and management of examination boards; coordinating assessment task approval and moderation; personal tutor allocations and advising academic staff on
