We can help you to build your confidence and develop in the following areas:
- Spoken communication skills in academic, professional and social contexts

We run regular webinars, courses and support sessions. To know what’s currently on offer, look out for messages on Library screens, social media, the Goose, emails, Blackboard announcements and other communication channels.
We can see you for a one-to-one appointment, too. These are recommended once you’re working on a specific project such as a presentation or an assignment, or if your lecturer has suggested a particular area for you to work on.
