Undergraduate Studies Pastoral Care
Safe, supported, valued: Our exceptional pastoral care.
At Angels College Undergraduate Programme, we believe that all young students thrive when they feel safe, supported, and valued.
That’s why pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that you feels a sense of belonging, encouragement, and guidance throughout their time with us.
With around 240 students, our close-knit university community allows us to truly know each student as an individual, fostering strong relationships between students, lecturers, and families.
ONE BIG FAMILY
Our pastoral care is built around a deep understanding of the needs of young students.
We know that student experience is a time of growth, curiosity, and learning – not just academically, but emotionally and socially too. So we nurture every aspect of a student’s development, giving them the confidence to explore and the courage to take risks and discover their full potential.
This supportive environment of lecturers and peers encourages kindness, respect, and inclusivity.
At the core of our pastoral care is our tutor system, which ensures that every student has a dedicated mentor looking out for their wellbeing and progress: from Years 1-3, each student is assigned a tutor, who acts as their first point of contact for both academic and personal matters.
Tutors monitor each student’s academic progress, social development, and emotional wellbeing, ensuring that they are happy and engaged.
Tutors often teach their students in multiple subjects, deepening their understanding of each student’s strengths, challenges, and aspirations.
Tutors serve as the vital link between university and home, keeping families informed and working collaboratively to support each student’s needs.
As students progress into Years 2-4, they remain part of their Study Group but have the opportunity to mix with different classmates in academic lessons. This balance provides the security of a familiar tutor while also encouraging new friendships and experiences.
Of course, education at Angels extends far beyond the lecture theatre. We believe in developing confident, well-rounded individuals who embrace challenges, take responsibility, and build resilience.
For example, every student is involved in our annual university productions, whether performing on stage, managing backstage elements, or working on technical aspects. And, starting in Foundation Year, students take part in residential trips that encourage them to step outside their comfort zones to develop independence, problem-solving skills, and a sense of adventure.
A STRONG STUDENT VOICE
We believe that students should have a voice in their own education. Our Student Council meets regularly to discuss ideas for university improvements and new initiatives, and students take the lead in organising charity events.
By giving students real responsibilities, we help them develop confidence, decision-making skills, and a strong sense of community at any early age.
OUR INCLUSIVE & NURTURING COMMUNITY
We’re proud to be an inclusive university that celebrates diversity and supports every student’s unique needs. Our Learning Strategies team provides tailored support who may need additional help.
Whether through one-on-one sessions, in-class support, or small group workshops, we ensure that every student has the resources they need to succeed.
Our small university size allows us to closely monitor each student’s progress, ensuring that support is tailored, responsive, and truly effective. families and lecturers work in partnership to create the best possible outcomes:
By fostering strong relationships, celebrating individuality, and providing the right support at the right time, a Angels Undergraduate education will enable you to develop into a resilient, confident, and happy learner.
