We hope that the resources within the Blended Learning pages will help you to manage your studies in an effective way.  If you do find you need help, here are some sources of support:

For technical help

The University Information Services (UIS) team provides support with IT and technical problems: Students | IT Help and Support (cam.ac.uk), and provides training courses for common software used in teaching and research (for example, Office 365, MatLab, nVivo, SPSS, etc.).  Your College or Departmental IT team can also help you to navigate the computing and blended learning resources available to you. 

For educational help

Generally, your Director of Studies or College Tutor is the best place to start seeking help with your studies.  However, there are a range of other support services available to you, such as: 

• CamGuides: the University Library has produced a set of resources for new students, at both Undergraduate and Master's level, designed to help prepare you for your studies.
