Embedded academic skills
The Skills Centre's Digital and Academic Skills (DAS) Team provides one to two-hour sessions for first year undergraduate students 'embedded' as part of their course programme.
The DAS team can also provide academic skills support for second year and final year undergraduates on request.
'Embedded' sessions are organised with each department, depending on their specific needs. Please contact the DAS Team Administrator in the first instance to discuss your request.
Skills enrichment sessions
Our skills enrichment programme is open to all students and includes classes on Presentation Skills and a range of 50-minute sessions focused on building confidence with academic writing and exam techniques.
1:1 writing/exam skills support
Your students can book a 20-minute online 1:1 writing tutorial with a specialist writing tutor to help them develop effective writing skills and gain constructive feedback on their written work.
Alternatively, they can request feedback by email, or use the drop-in service in the Skills Zone (6E 2.8) (no booking required - please check current times on MySkills).
Individual student referrals
We offer a limited number of 1:1 'referral tutorials' for students you have identified as requiring additional academic skills support.
Please consider the best support for the student. If you believe 1:1 support is required, the student should contact Student Support to request an appointment with one of our tutors.
