Welcome to all new first years and returning students.

The Academic Support Advancement Programme (ASAP) is a faculty wide initiative. The programme is currently implementing strategies to assist students in their studies, whether it be assistance in specific modules (through tutoring and supplemental instruction), general learning strategies (through workshops and advice from the Academic Development Officers), assistance with academic writing for reports and assignments, or staff development. The implementation of the programme will take into consideration existing interventions, such as the Mentorship Programme as well as discipline based tutorial systems.

WHAT WE OFFER: 

Supplemental Instruction. Additional sessions with trained peers to assist with understanding of modules which students find difficult. Look out on the notice boards and in your lectures for details of modules in your School where this is offered.

Workshops. Learn more about time management, study skills, note taking and exam preparation. Workshops are run during the semester and are available daily.  Sign up with your School ADO or on the notice boards
 
Writing Assistance. Support and assistance with the writing of all your reports and assignments as well as development of general academic literacy skills are offered one--one in the drop-in centre

One-on-one advice. All the Academic Development Officers are based within the Faculty and can assist you on an individual basis.
