School of Computer and Engineering Sciences

An introduction to your School

Welcome to the School of Computer and Engineering Sciences my name is Dr Silvester Czanner. I oversee specific divisions within a faculty, overseeing academic programmes to ensure high-quality education and research.

During Welcome Week, you will have the opportunity to meet your peers, faculty members, and support staff. This week is also designed to introduce you to the resources and support available to you throughout your studies. In the meantime, if you have any questions about your programme of study, please feel free to contact SBEWelcomeConnect@chester.ac.uk.

After enrolling on your modules, you should receive a timetable centrally (available via the university app), but please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or the timetable is not clear.

Welcome Week Specifics

Welcome Week is an important time when we will introduce you to your programme. We will also have a range of activities to enable you to meet other students on your course and form across the University. There will be a department introduction w.c. 23rd September, where you can get to know each other and the campus. You will also get to meet your Personal Academic Tutor. Dates on when these sessions will take place will be populated on your timetable.

An Introduction to Your PAT

Every student is assigned a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT). They will be your first point of contact for issues that arise during your degree. We work alongside Student Services – and make referrals to Student Services where necessary – to help you navigate your degree and manage any surprises that life can throw up from time to time.

You'll meet with your PAT when you arrive at university and at least three times a year, but your PAT is always at the end of an email and you may see them more, or less, depending on your circumstances. Your PAT will provide their contact information when you meet them in Welcome Week.
