Motorsport Engineering BSc(Hons): Learning support

Pastoral care

Our excellent pastoral care means we assign all our students a personal tutor. Your personal tutor will:

• look after any aspect of your academic life; and
• be the first point of contact for any general concerns you may have, guiding you to those who can help you best.

MathsAid

MathsAid is a university-wide resource that can help you to improve your knowledge of maths and statistics. You learn through a mix of:

• personal one-to-one tutor contact via drop-in clinics;
• peer assisted learning; and
• computer software products.

Peer assisted learning

Under our peer assisted learning scheme (PAL), specially trained final year students act as tutors to students in lower years. You can gain advice and guidance with your academic studies from someone who has recently been through the same. PAL consists of one-to-one or small group (maximum four students) scheduled sessions.

IT facilities and support

Our top-quality facilities include:

• computer labs;
• other IT resources; and
• a dedicated IT support team to deal with any questions you may have.

StudySpacce

StudySpace resources vary from module to module. For example, it might include:

• subject guides;
• lecture notes;
• presentations; and
• even sound and video clips.

Other useful features are online discussion forums (bulletin boards), a virtual classroom and a drop box (for online submission of coursework).
