College Advisor
As a graduate student, you will belong to an academic department or faculty which will provide your teaching and supervision. However, the College will also play an important role in your academic studies. At Christ Church you will be assigned a College Advisor who will be a senior member of the college working in a similar field to you. Your College Advisor will meet with you at least once a term to offer guidance and discuss your progress. In addition to contact with senior members in College, through your college membership, you will also meet graduates working across a range of fields. This network will form an important feature in your broader intellectual development.
