"Who you gonna call?"
Writing university essays, preparing for seminars, conducting research, analysing data, referencing your work. None of these come naturally to anyone, they are skills that need to be learned. Luckily your Academic Skills Team is here to help you master these skills. We are available online and in every campus library. You can book to see us or take part in any of our regular workshops and weekly drop-in sessions. We are ready to help you!
Our Student Mentors totally rock!
