Academic Advice
We’re here to help!
The Students’ Association Advice Service offers free, impartial and confidential, academic advice to students studying at the University of Birmingham’s Dubai campus. Our Advisors are based at the Edgbaston campus in Birmingham, but we aim to provide all students at Dubai with the same level of academic advice and support at formal University meetings, as those students based at the UK campus.
Your academic tutor team will be your first port of call if you have a question about your course or studies and the Student Wellbeing Officer will be available to support you if you are experiencing an issue that is impacting on your academic studies, if you require academic adjustments, or have extenuating circumstances.
As a University of Birmingham student you are entitled to seek independent academic advice on the following issues. Please click on each section to find out more information about the Codes of Practice and how we can help you:
In some instances students may be invited to a meeting to discuss an appeal or misconduct issue (e.g. plagiarism). Academic regulations state that a student is entitled to bring a “friend” to these meetings, who can be a registered student at the University of Birmingham, or an academic member of staff, or a Student Leader from your Students’ Association.
If you would like a Student Leader to support you in an Academic Regulations meeting then please fill out the enquiry form below, or speak to your Student Wellbeing Officer for a referral, and an Advisor will arrange this for you. If you would like more information please contact one of the Advisors by filling out the enquiry form.
