Should allocated APTs remain the same across level one and two?
LEVEL THREE
Setting Expectations
Students should expect a re-affirmation of the format of sessions for the year. Once again a group
session between all tutees with their tutee would be advantageous; in some cases this might be
welcoming students back to UWE after placements.
There is a debate to be had whether a level 3 APT should also be their tutees dissertation
supervisor because students' opinion on this varied. It was felt there should be some common
practice for this.
Ongoing practice
There should be discussion to support tutee's aspirations in degree classification and explain use
of the classification calculator to monitor progression.
Students should expect discussions about CV development and progress towards UWE Bristol
Futures Award. APTs should signpost for support and guidance being given for employability and
post-graduate study.
Postgraduate students should expect to have access to an Academic Personal Tutor, and
signposting for support services relevant to the post-graduate experience.
