Supporting your studies

While you’re training to teach, we want you to feel supported to focus on developing your skills and experience. We’ve put lots of support in place to help you thrive – whether you’re studying on campus or out on placement. We’ve included some important information below, but detailed information about how the University can support you is available at hud.ac.uk/uni-life/support

Student Guidance and Support

Our course tutors are all experienced teachers and you’ll have a personal tutor to support you through your studies. As well as your tutors, you’ll also be able to access support from a range of sources within the School of Education and Professional Development, including academic skills tutors, progress tutors and the Student Support Office. Our Placements Team will support you from preparing to go on placement to ensuring you get the best possible experience while you’re there. We operate an extensive professional network giving you the opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of settings. You’ll also be able to access University-wide support services, including Wellbeing and Disability Services, the Careers and Employability Service and more.

Fees and Financial Support

Most of our courses have tuition fees, which cover the costs of your study at the University. You may be eligible to receive a tuition fee loan and maintenance loan from Student Finance England.
