The University of Sussex provides academic support to overseas students if English is the second language and if they are entering the British University system of education for the first time. Those students who have registered for full time degree programmes are eligible for the academic support which is available free of charge. The academic support consists of workshops and tutorials.
The workshops will focus on academic and English language skills which include subjects such as note-taking, summarizing & paraphrasing, structuring an essay, understanding & writing essay titles, paragraphing, referencing & writing a bibliography, introductions and conclusions. Writing workshops are also conducted and the students are expected to bring written essays/materials. This written matter is discussed, analysed and suggestions are made for improvement.
The tutors in the tutorials advise the students on issues related to study like essays, oral presentations, seminars and dissertations.
In addition to this there are ‘Drop-in sessions'.
I was wondering whether they have a formal Writing Centre. The sessions you describe appear to be workshops and not one-on-one sessions.
ReplyDeleteThere is no Writing Centre in the University.At the time of admission students must have 6.5 score in IELTS or 90 score in TOEFL. The Centre for Languages conduct workshops and courses for improvement of English language and skills.
