Student support
You’ll be supported by an on-site team comprising of the Dean, Deputy Dean and a team of Resident Fellows (or RFs). Every floor has an RF, and their job is to provide academic guidance and pastoral support and ensure each and every resident is looked after.
Academically, we run peer led study groups to support students adjust to the academic requirements of university study - in addition, we also run shared study sessions run along with wellbeing programs coordinated by our Wellbeing Officer, helping to make the transition from high school to university a smooth one.
As an international student from Dubai, I could not have been more excited to meet the diverse and inclusive community that is FTH. I met brilliant mates who valued my wellbeing, with a common willingness to get out there and become a better you.
