Who can help

You may encounter certain study issues that prevent you from reaching your potential while at university. Time management, essay writing or exam techniques may all be different to those you have encountered before.  You may find yourself needing a little extra support. Your first port of call should always be your tutor as they will be best placed to explain what is expected of you during your course. However, if you are still feeling a little lost, look for your school below to find a list of people who may be able to help you.
