Student Advisers Student Advisers provide support for all stu- dents throughout their university experience, particularly during their first year. Tey are attached either to particular programmes (e.g. Arts) or to specific groups of students (e.g. International Students). Tey work closely with the administrative and academic staff as well as with the chaplains and other support staff. Student Advisers are there to help you make
your time at UCD as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible. Tey offer students a space to express their concerns regarding social, personal or practical issues, and assist students to access other support services where necessary. Te main brief of Student Advisers is to be available to students on a one-to-one basis and ensure that each individual student gets the support, advice and assistance he or she needs during their time at UCD. Tey are also involved in a number of activities and events in UCD, which aim to enhance the overall experience of all our students, e.g. Orientation and Peer Mentoring for incoming students.
