Study coaching
Discuss your current approach to academic life to help develop your study skills and strategies. The coach will guide you in your journey of self-discovery. They won't look at any written work, provide feedback, or critique you in any way.
We offer two types of coaching:
General study coaching
Talk in confidence about your current study experiences. The coach helps you explore workable solutions to challenges and recognise your successes and progress so you feel confident and able to move forwards.
Coaching for supervisor meetings
Want to make the most of your dissertation supervisor meetings? The coach helps you explore how you're managing supervision and strategies to deal with challenges or anxieties you may be experiencing.
Credit-bearing modules
Develop the communication skills needed in the modern workplace.
Modules are available as an elective for 3rd-year undergraduate students, and for visiting or exchange students.
