Pastoral walks are designed to help you navigate through your learning journey with us. These are casual, one-on-one conversations with our course facilitators, where you can talk about your progress, any challenges you're facing, and give feedback to your CF.
During these walks, your CF will:
Listen to Your Concerns: Whether it's about your coursework, career goals, or personal challenges, they're here to help.
Offer Guidance: They can provide advice on handling academic or professional challenges and help you navigate interpersonal issues.
Answer Your Questions: Whether it's about the full-time program, employment preparation, or project expectations, they're a valuable resource.
Avoid Direct Involvement in Conflicts: They'll help you approach and resolve conflicts, but won't get directly involved.
Discuss employment expectations
Discuss any interpersonal challenges that have come up
Identify future plans
Ask questions about curriculum work (the structure and not the code)
Discuss any interpersonal challenges that have come up
Ask questions about the full-time programme

Discuss upcoming projects
After each pastoral walk, your CF will note down:
Any concerns that you've shared during the programme
Any agreed actions: Any advice or steps suggested, including follow-ups.
