Learning support
So you found a course you wanted to study, got through all the paperwork of enrolment, and attended your first classes. But now, you are finding some challenges.
Maybe it's the common student problem of too many tasks and not enough time? Or maybe you are not sure how to begin your assignments or write them up? Perhaps you are finding flexible learning harder than you expected? Or possibly you are nervous about having to do tests/exams?
If some of this sounds like you, you may benefit from our learning support service which offers skills and ideas to help you study more effectively.
Our counsellors can provide coaching in:
- Creating an effective study environment
- Goal setting

- Note-taking
- Exam preparation, exam anxiety control
- Memory retention
- Academic expressions
- Essay/report writing
- Advancing your learning skills

- Getting back to study
- Flexible learning techniques
- Other skills
