Adviser of Studies

The Adviser of Studies is generally the next point of contact when problems of a more serious nature arise. These problems are usually ones that cannot be managed at the tutor level in a satisfactory way. The nature of these may be varied and wide-ranging, but may include ones associated with serious personal, academic or health related problems.  Advisers are fully aware of when problems are beyond their remit and will make arrangements for students to consult with external bodies who have specialised training and facilities.

It is very important that you let your advisor know if you are experiencing any difficulties (illness, absence for other reason, personal problems, etc.) that might affect your performance and hence your marks in any compulsory component of the course (e.g. practical classes, workshops, tutorials) or written examination.

Male and female Advisers of Studies are available to students. The Advisers of Studies in the School of Pharmacy are listed below.
Professor B Gilmore
b.gilmore@qub.ac.uk
Dr V. Kett 
v.kett@qub.ac.uk
Dr R. Burden
r.burden@qub.ac.uk
​If you are unsure who your Advisor of Studies is you can ask staff in the School Office and you can also find this information on your QSIS account.
 
In addition to being responsible for student enrolment, Advisers are also there to provide guidance and more general advice, including:
  • aims of the course
  • structure of degree pathway
  • progression standards necessary

Advisers of Studies will also write to students in difficulty after examinations and invite them to arrange a meeting to discuss problems.
