Library Subject Guides
Resources to support understanding and production of academic writing. For all students, in all degree programmes.
Academic writing is central to almost all degree programmes. However, it's very different from other types of writing, so it's a skill that has to be learnt. Becoming good at academic writing can be a challenge for all!
This guide contains resources to help you become a confident and successful academic writer.
The Writing Centre offers 1:1 advice and guidance to all students to develop your academic writing and critical analysis skills.
