Writing Centre

Welcome to the Writing Centre

The Writing Centre is a friendly and exciting free service for all students of the University (undergraduate and postgraduate).

We offer one-hour, one-to-one tutorials to support students with all aspects of their writing, from coming up with ideas to revising final drafts. We work with you to help you improve your writing. Whether you are working on an essay, report, dissertation or any other assignment, we can help. Students from all disciplines are welcome. See here for more information.
