Academic Personal Tutor (APT)

Your Academic Personal Tutor (APT) is here to support your journey at Leeds, helping you succeed academically, personally, and professionally. This page explains what to expect from your APT and who to contact if you need assistance.

When you start at Leeds you will be allocated an Academic Personal Tutor who will be able to:

  • Assist you in reviewing your academic progress, helping you to develop independent learning skills.
  • Encourage you to reflect on your learning, both within and beyond the formal curriculum, and to consider how it contributes to your future development and career.
  • Support your personal and professional development providing initial advice and signposting to careers guidance, co-curricular opportunities and other services.
  • Listen. If you are feeling stressed or anxious you can turn to your Academic Personal Tutor, they will be able to help you find other services in the Faculty and wider University as appropriate.
