The intellectual life of the university is designed to help students with their cognitive skills - that is the ability to reason and think in a coherent manner and apprehend knowledge. The next step in the learning process is to synthesise knowledge from various sources, and then communicate the application of this knowledge in the form of a report or essay.

Many people struggle with the written communication aspect of intellectual life, and not just students from overseas or non English speaking backgrounds. To help you improve this important aspect of learning, the English Language Study Skills Assistance centre is here to help you.

They have many on-line and class room facilities that can help all students improve their written communication skills.

They welcome all students, so take the first step in improving your writing skills.
