Academic SkillsThe Academic Skills Service (ASK) team provides academic skills strategies to support your studies at the University.

ASK specialises in the area of Academic Communication, including academic writing, critical thinking and presentation skills.

We work with students in all disciplines and at all levels of academic study, from Foundation to PhD students. You may wish to consult ASK for a one-off session on, for example, revision techniques or book a series of appointments in order to develop your essay structure and build critical thinking into your work.

ASK offers an inclusive learning environment and supports students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. We welcome students who have been away from education for a while, international students, and those who are looking for tools to become independent learners.
