Our Support

Students can explore a wide range of supporting material for their projects such as academic books and journal articles. Teachers can request a visit via our booking form.

During the visit, we:

- Support students in enhancing their skills, knowledge and understanding of how to research, critically select and analyse information for their research projects.

- Provide students with the opportunity to experience the University's Highfield campus to support their transition to a university environment.

- Provide an inclusive experience by offering students individual support on their research projects with a view to foster their confidence and develop their academic skills.
