• 4 th year students were assigned academic advisors for the first time during the 2022–2023 academic year • This is to be continued with the new academic year • An Academic Advising container was created and used to facilitate commu- nication. This initiative commenced with the MB BS programme. A series of webinars have been conducted in the Academic Year 2022/2023 to give career guidance to our MB BS students. The Start of the Career series: “Careers in Evolution” (see flyers below) saw a series of specialties being presented. These series will continue to be presented in the next academic year, however, additional specialties will be included. The feedback on these series have been extremely positive and the responses indicted that the students wished more of these series to be conducted.
There have been several other webinars for students under the Academic Advising programme. Please see flyers below with the various topics. Cross Campus Academic Advising continues to be developed and a survey was conducted cross campus to gather data to help to improve the process.
