About our sessions

Webinars and workshops

These group sessions focus on particular topics such as Planning and Structuring, Critical Thinking, or Presentation Skills. 

Sessions are taught online in Blackboard Collaborate.  You can keep your camera and microphone off, and use text chat to communicate. 

The presentation slides are sent out in advance and additional useful resources are sent out after the session.

1-1 Appointments

If you’d like to discuss a specific assignment or get personalised guidance on how to develop your academic skills, you can book a 30-minute appointment with an Academic Skills Adviser. 

You can learn how to study more effectively, and improve your academic skills, productivity and confidence.

Students can book up to 3 appointments within a 90-day period. However, you can only have one upcoming appointment at a time. Once your appointment has passed, you can book your next one.

You can find and book for forthcoming 1-1s via our What's on section.
