Our Writing Space runs in S107 from 12pm-2pm Monday to Friday during term time.
You can join this space without booking.
Join the space, take a seat at a computer or bring your laptop, and work on your assignment alongside other students.
Student Learning Assistants and Academic Writing and Language specialists from the LET will be available in the room to answer queries and help you learn as you write.
These are 30-minute 1-1 appointments which you can book to gain advice or feedback on your assignments, language and communication, or learning strategies. Some appointments are on campus and others are online.
You can come at any stage of your studies to understand the assignment, understand what you have to do, gain feedback on what you have done, learn to work more effectively, and understand how to improve your work or communication skills.
Please use the below calendar assigned to your Faculty to book an appointment.
Please note:
In addition to one-to-one appointments, from the 23rd of January until the 21st March, all Business, Criminology and Sociology students can bring their coursework to receive feedback by the LET and a Business Librarian to a drop-in session. These drop-ins do not need to be booked, you can just turn up! For more details and a timetable, please see our Business, Criminology and Sociology Drop-in Guide.

Academic writing has a very particular style of language.
It aims to have a strong impact on the reader through presenting research-based arguments in clear, flowing and persuasive language. Our short courses help you develop the grammar and vocabulary you need for these British conventions of academic writing.
Join a writing circle to learn more about academic writing, improve your coursework and drafts, and to join a community of writers.
