pen and paper

The majority of university assignments still require you to write – and with good reason. Writing is not just how we demonstrate our understanding of a topic – in many cases it is how we learn. The ability to start with a blank page and order your ideas into something that is coherent, engaging and insightful is one of the most important skills to develop at university.

Here you can explore the live workshops the Centre for Academic Success has to offer over the next couple of weeks on the theme of Writing.
