Learning Development

Most students find that thinking, reading and writing for university is a new, and sometimes challenging, experience. As well as learning ideas and information in your course, you will find that the expectations for writing and communicating vary between disciplines. Learning Development works with students and academic staff to help all students learn and write effectively at all stages of their degree program. We do this by teaching Academic Skills, English Language proficiency, and Maths skills relevant to most disciplines across the university.
