Writing Support

Many students feel that they would benefit from developing or enhancing their writing skills and tutors at the Study Skills and Access Unit are able to assist with this. Writing skills sessions are available as one-to-one appointments or as group workshops.

NOTE: This service is available to all undergraduates. For post-graduate students priority is given to dyslexic students and non-native English speakers; support for home post-graduates is subject to tutor availability.

Common writing concerns that can be covered in these sessions include:

Academic writing style
Structuring essays and reports
Referencing
Effective introductions and conclusions
Developing proofreading skills

Many study skills topics are integral to successful writing. These include, for example:

Time planning
Reading strategies
Note-taking

You may wish to cover these, or similar, topics with a writing or study skills tutor.

For a range of self study guides and useful web links please see the online resources in the Study Skills General Area on Moodle .
