Library study skills support
Help from the Library
If you need help, for example with an assignment, you can ask at a library help desk or via the online enquiry service as your first step.
In addition to online resources and workshops available to all students, every programme has a Library Learning Development Team who can support you to:
Study skills workshops
From making notes to structuring your writing, we offer a number of study skills workshops available to students.
Our core workshops are:
- How to plan and structure your writing
- How to reference and avoid plagiarism
- How to start your critical thinking
- How to improve your academic English skills
- How studying at UWE Bristol will be different for new international students.
Study skills one-to-one appointments
If you have tried the above options and still have questions, you can book a study skills one‑to‑one appointment with a member of library staff. Appointments last around 30-45 minutes and are dependent on staff availability.
During an appointment, library staff will be able to look at small sections of your work and coach you to apply study skills techniques. Bookings can be made through our Ask a Librarian enquiry service.
We do not offer proof-reading in these appointments.
