Student support in the Library
All new students are provided with a welcome to the Library in their first few weeks, to ensure they know the range of resources and opportunities available to them and where to go to when they need help.
What we offer
Integral to the University’s desire to provide the best possible experience for all students we offer academic skills and development training and disability and neurodiversity support. These services are located within the Library building.
Academic skills and development support
Striving to get the best from students.
Academic Skills and Development are dedicated to supporting students to become effective and independent learners. We work in a variety of ways to ensure that all students achieve their potential, delivering workshops, one to one advice sessions and through online resources. The team also works closely in partnership with teaching staff to embed academic skills and development directly into degree courses.
Our team of learning development advisers, librarians, and specialist maths and statistic advisers provide advice to all undergraduate and masters level students here at the University.
