The Assignment Success Tutors will play a key role in supporting, mentoring, guiding and advising students, across all of their modules, to help ensure that they engage with and understand their studies, manage and develop their assignment work, and are able to submit assignments before the submission deadline that meet the modules’ specific Learning Outcomes and are of a pass-grade standard.

The Assignment Success Tutors will work across a range of programmes, but pre-dominantly degree programmes focused on ‘Business Management’ and ‘Digital Marketing’.
