The English Language Teaching Centre (ELTC)

The ELTC offers a wide range of English language support and development services; you can find more information on the University's ELTC web pages. 

This includes the Writing Advisory Service (WAS), which is a free service where you can get one-to-one help with improving your writing skills, whether you're a home or international student.

It's always helpful when producing some written work to have someone else read it. WAS provides you with the opportunity to discuss your writing in a one-to-one session for an hour at a time with a tutor. There is an online booking system for writing advisory appointments. You must register with the new online booking system to book a WAS appointment. This is completed online. Students can book up to 6 appointments during the academic year depending on availability (for example 3 in the Autumn semester and 3 in the Spring) but you may be able to book more appointments in special circumstances.
