Learning support
All University of West London students who wish to develop their academic skills, can attend any of the open workshops delivered by Learning Support as well as book one-to-one sessions with our study advisers.
Sessions and classes are free of charge and are valuable to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Information for students
Open Workshops are available every Wednesday. We regularly cover topics like critical thinking, avoiding plagiarism and exam and revision strategies.

Also posted here are details of our Open Workshops and booking information for one-to-one sessions. Additionally you can get support from other students through the discussion board.
One-to-One study advice sessions give students the opportunity to discuss specific academic needs in an informal and confidential setting. Sessions are usually 30 minutes long and bookable through learning.support@uwl.ac.uk
Students with disabilities
Whilst Learning Support frequently provides advice on developing strategies to cope with a learning disability such as dyslexia, the Disability Support team should be contacted by students who have a disability, or think they may have a learning difficulty, such as dyslexia, for specialised advice and support.
Information for staff
The Learning Support team is available to work in collaboration with Schools to offer tailored support to meet the specific learning needs of the students within your School.
For example:
- Bespoke online interactive resources and tests
- Tailored workshops or tutorials covering the skills that have been identified as key requirements within your School
- Work towards an embedded Learning Skills module.
