What is an Adviser of studies

All undergraduate and taught postgraduate students at the University of Dundee will be assigned an Adviser of Studies at the start of their course. This guide is designed to give you an overview of the Adviser of Studies system. You’ll find information about how the Adviser of Studies system works, advice on meeting your Adviser and getting the most out of these meetings, examples of the kind of academic and pastoral issues you might discuss with your Adviser, and information on the wider University support services available to you.
