Dr Ward, Adviser to International Students, is giving an introductory session for new international postgraduate students in the Department of English Language at Wanscow.
Dr Ward: Let me tell you about the staff. The Head of Department is Professor Bradley. He will be giving some of the postgraduate seminars as well as giving some of the first-semester lectures. Then there are two Senior Lecturers. They'll be handling lectures and tutorials. Then there are six lecturers — they're all listed in your information pack. You'll also meet our Research Assistant, Angela Gorski, and there are four research students doing PhDs. Each of you will be given a personal tutor, who will be one of us...
Student: Is the personal tutor the same as our dissertation supervisor?
Dr Ward: No. You'll be given a supervisor when you choose your dissertation topic. He or she'll supervise you during the spring semester and the summer vacation. Your personal tutor looks after your general academic welfare. You can also talk to a student counsellor if you have any personal problems, and there's also a postgrad rep.
