Academic Skills

The Academic Skills team helps students develop their academic literacy, learning, referencing, and numeracy skills through useful study guides, workshops, and individual appointments. Students can also submit assignment drafts for feedback on ways to improve their writing.

The Academic Skills team collaborates with Faculty to design and embed programs of support that best suit the needs of students in specific subjects and courses.

Support for staff

Academic Skills works with you to build the skills and confidence students need for academic and professional success.

Support for current students

We all want to succeed in life and study. Sometimes, students need a helping hand to make that a reality.  Students get access to free study support services as part of their enrolment.
