How Can I Join a PASS Group?
PASS sessions begin in week 2. Timetables for the PASS groups are handed out at lectures in the first two weeks of session and/or are made available on the course Moodle websites. There’s no need to register.
We recommend that you attend the same group regularly but there is no obligation. You can even attend more than one PASS group a week in a subject if you like. You can also choose to attend some weeks but not others.
How Can I Get The Most Out of PASS?
- Be interactive – this is the optimum way to learn
- Come along with questions and raise issues
- Attend regularly
Are You Interested in Becoming a PASS Leader?
PASS leaders are mainly 2nd and 3rd-year students who:

- Have excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Have an enthusiastic commitment to supporting students
Leaders are trained and supervised by the PASS Team and attend regular team meetings. Leaders are paid for participating in training, conducting PASS sessions, and attending meetings.
