Writing and Learning Centre
The Writing and Learning Centre is a service for the whole Bath Spa University community. We aim to improve student learning, enhance the student experience, and help you reach your potential during your degree. No matter how old you are, what kind of grades you're getting, what you're studying, or what your background is, we can help.
More information and other resources are also available on Minerva and Career Hub.
Students with dyslexia or other specific learning needs are welcome to use our services, but should also contact Student Support on studentsupport@bathspa.ac.uk.
Help for Students
We offer:
- 1:1 Appointments: A WLC tutor will look at your previous and/or current work and help you consider how to improve.
- Workshops: Share questions, ideas, and problems with a WLC and other students from across the university.
- Online Chats: (coming soon)
- Resources: Check out Minerva and Career Hub for tip sheets, examples of student work and feedback, and more!
Topics include academic writing, referencing, preparing for exams, improving your study habits, understanding the UK higher education system, or whatever help you need to develop your writing and learning.
We also offer appointments and events for international students who need help with English. If you need help with the new system, watch this short screen-cast.
Of course, all of these services are FREE to Bath Spa University students.
