Do you need help with your academic writing skills?

Have your studies highlighted academic skills that you would like to improve?

Would you like to know how to make the most of the feedback on your assignments?

Anna Warren, in the CCi Skills Centre, offers academic skills support and advice available to all students, at all levels across the Faculty.

Skills support includes:

• Academic writing and structure (essays, reports, dissertations etc.)
• Making the most of assignment feedback
• Critical analysis
• Referencing, citations and avoiding plagiarism
• Academic reading
• Presentation and communication skills
• Group work skills
• Time management: organising and planning your work load
• Exam and revision techniques

There are drop -in sessions (see below), one to one bookable sessions, small group sessions and online sessions available, all tailored to suit your needs. If we are unable to help you with your enquiry, we will direct you to the appropriate student support service.

You can also find a range of information, advice and activities on all of these academic skills areas on Moodle in the CCi Skills – Academic module.
