The Academic Skills Service team are holding drop-in Academic Skills pop-up events across multiple University of Southampton campuses from Monday 21 February until the end of March. Happening at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS), Avenue, Highfield, and Winchester School of Art (WSA) campuses, these pop-up events are held in addition to the regular advice and guidance on academic skills which you can find on the Academic Skills Hub.
The events will focus on dissertation preparation and general writing support. Below you can find out the dates and times the team will come to your main campus. There’s no need to book – just show up to your preferred location.
Dissertation support pop-ups
From creating an effective proposal, all the way through to research, organising information, and adding final edits, writing your dissertation can be overwhelming. At an Academic Skills Service pop-up, speak to a trained advisor who can help with general tips about the process, as well as point you in the direction of more specialised support.
