academic misconduct, for different contexts. Our support includes but is
not limited to:

• Students having support regardless of the length of assessment.

appointments are always offered. We encourage autonomy and have a
booking system which the student has details of, so they can book an
appointment at any time during their studies.

we can offer tailored support with the issue. Ongoing support is
always offered after a meeting.
• All students can book an appointment for support with any aspect of
academic writing including if they are struggling with studying with
English as a second language or if they are struggling with the format
of academic writing expected in the UK.
