Study Skills

We provide study skills to suit a variety of situations and needs.

Study Skills Workshops

We run weekly Specialist Study Skills Workshops for students who have dyslexia/specific learning difficulties or are going through the assessment process. These are relaxed and useful drop-in sessions.

Our workshops will be running twice a week on both the Docklands and Stratford sites.

You can also view our workshops on-line through UEL Plus (check out our instructions on how to do this).
