For some of us non-nave English speakers, studying while trying to grasp a second language isn’t the easiest thing. Fortunately, we have a saviour: the Academic Skills and Learning Centre (ASCL), which is located on the ground floor of the Pauline Griffin Building (Building 11).

The Centre is open weekdays, including during the summer and winter holidays, but not on public holidays.

Don’t be afraid to make an appointment with the Centre, as the staff are friendly and well- trained to give advice on essays, presentaons and much more.

Only a limited number of academic advisors are available, so be sure to make an appointment at least a week before any major assessment comes up. There will be lots of people dropping into the centre during the peak periods of exams and during week 10, so don’t say we didn’t warn you!

The ASCL also runs frequent, free workshops, designed to help students in a range of areas, including wring, research, and reading students in a range of areas, including wring, research, and reading skills. They hold classes in dealing with exam preparaon and stress. Have a read on the short courses available and be sure to make the most of what’s on offer.
