Learning Support
Learning Success
Developing a sound kete of study and assessment skills is really important for a successful and confident study journey.
How to plan your schedule, how to get the online systems working for you, and how to paraphrase and reference your work are all demands students face.
Our friendly facilitators are here to help with things like; academic writing, study skills, understanding assignment questions, exam and study strategies, time management, referencing, and general computer skills.
They work with you one-to-one, in study groups or workshops to help you succeed in your studies and achieve your goals.
