We have a team of Specialist Study Support Tutors who can help you develop strategies to manage your studies effectively and become an independent learner.
We are here to help you if you have a disability, mental health difficulty, long-term medical condition, autistic spectrum condition, or a specific learning difference such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia or ADHD.
If you do not have a disability and are looking for general study skills advice please contact the Student Academic Skills Team.
One-to-one support
Our one-to-one support sessions are available throughout the year and can be tailored to suit individual needs. Common areas of focus include:
- Note-taking strategies
- Active reading strategies
- Question analysis
- Planning and structuring writing for essays, reports, and dissertations
- How best to revise for exams
- Exam techniques
- Time management and organisation
If you have a Support Plan through the Disability Support Service you can use our new self-service appointment booking system on Student Life. To book an appointment with a Specialist Study Support Tutor follow these steps:
- Log in to the Student Life appointment booking portal available here

DSA Needs Assessors should note we are not a registered provider.
Group sessions
We also offer group sessions and workshops and a Support Group for students with ADHD.
Please let us know if you are interested in other topics and we'll contact you about future workshops too.
This complements the support and advice that your School may offer, and you should check the support that is available from the Disability Liaison Officer (DLO).
