These Study Skills Workshops
run once a week throughout the academic year.
You may be required to attend these workshops if
your teachers feel you need additional help with
your English Language skills or with a
particular area of study. Students may also
volunteer to attend these seminars if they feel
they need some additional help. Classes will
support your language progress, and help to
ensure that as a student you are successful in
obtaining a good degree.
