Academic Skills Enhancement (ASE)
The Academic Skills Enhancement (ASE) service works in a number of ways with taught students at any level, undergraduate or postgraduate, from any subject discipline, to develop the skills and practices needed to become more effective in their academic work and excel at university.
Areas covered include: writing for academic purposes, effective reading and note-making, presentation skills, time-management, critical thinking, understanding marking criteria, using feedback, revision and exam preparation and avoiding plagiarism. We also support the work of student mentors through providing resources and training to support peer and social learning.
Academic Skills Tutors offer support and developmental opportunities in the form of one-to-one tutorials, workshops, drop-ins, and self-access resources. In addition, we host Royal Literary Fund (RLF) Fellows who offer writing advice to both taught and research students.
Academic Skills
Enhancement (ASE) are part of the Library Teaching and Learning Service and are
based on the Mile End Campus and online.
