Practical Support and Advice
For both current and future students, university administrative processes can be daunting and frustrating, particularly when you are studying remotely.
We can help with navigating university learning portals and connecting with the appropriate university services to meet your individual needs. This may include access and inclusion requirements, applying for extensions or special considerations, or referral to progression teams, library services, and other student supports.
Our team also assists students in finding and applying for scholarships.

Are you new to higher education, returning after an extended period off from studying, or needing guidance around assessment tasks? Our Learning Skills Advisor Program can help you settle into study and become confident with academic and university processes.
Academic Skills
Academic programs range from workshops in referencing or essay writing, to one-on-one academic sessions through our dedicated Learning Skills Advisor Program.
