Tutees usually meet their tutor together with a group of 4 or 5 other students principally to discuss problems relating to Physics. For students studying Physics as their main subject, these meetings will be weekly. In response to student requests, some individual tutorials are replaced by larger group sessions . In these you will be given the chance to practise some of the techniques you will have learnt in lectures. All students are assigned to academic-staff tutors within the first week of the Autumn Term.
New students meet with their tutor on the first day of term at the registration session.
You can find photographs of all academic staff, together with their room numbers elsewhere on this site. Currently, Physics students in their third year receive regular tutorials in the first semester only. Alternative arrangements are made in the second semester of the third year, where the Physics courses are predominantly options. However, the pastoral role of the tutor is retained. As the fourth year of the MSci courses involves considerable contact with staff members, formal tutorials are not scheduled, although two members of staff are allocated as personal tutors for the year as a whole.
