Your academic coach will play a crucial role in facilitating your learning throughout the degree. Coaches will work closely with students in small groups, meeting regularly to synthesise the concepts and methods learned, and help draw connections between them to tackle problems. Academic coaches will be members of our faculty and will offer 1:1 support to their assigned students.

All students will have access to dedicated 1:1 welfare support. The welfare advisor can offer ongoing guidance to students who may be familiarising themselves with the new learning style and environment. The welfare advisor will also be able to connect you to other services, such as counselling, financial advice, personal development workshops, and local NHS services.

Your career mentor will support you in defining your career goals and developing your professional skills and networks. They’ll be your guide and advisor as you navigate the transition from higher education into the world of work. You’ll have regular meetings with your career mentor from the outset of your time at LIS, giving you the opportunity to explore your professional aspirations from your first year of study.
