These 90-minute weekly (dyslexia-friendly) study support sessions are open to any student who wants to improve their study skills within a relaxed and supportive environment. The sessions start with an introduction to the sessions. Further sessions explore skills for organisation and time management; learning technology; interactive reading and research; effective academic writing; preparing and giving presentations; and revising and taking exams. Sessions run over 10 weeks each semester and concentrate on how to maximise strengths and build up weaker areas.
Please contact Jo Rowland or Kassandra Clemens to join the sessions.
Our first session is face to face rather than on MS Teams. 12:00-14:00, Pastoral and Spiritual Support Centre, 1 Kirkby Terrace.
All other drop-in sessions are between 18:00 and 20:00 via MS Teams.

Do you have ADHD? Or think that you may have?
You are very welcome to join us at the University of Plymouth ADHD Support Group.
We are a small friendly group who support each other by sharing concerns, good tips, ideas, experiences, etc. Each session has a more formal time where we focus on one main topic, e.g. time management, dealing with stress, etc. Sometimes a visiting speaker comes in to lead this part. This is followed by a less structured time where the conversation can cover a range of ADHD-related issues.
When and where we meet:
If you have any questions please contact:
Jo Rowland, Disability Advisor.
Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) are grants that help to pay for support that a student may need at Higher Education as a direct result of a disability, on-going health condition, sensory impairment, mental health condition or specific learning difficulties.
Reduce property crime
Thousands of items of property are lost or stolen each year in the UK. The Immobilise National Property Register already holds the details of 28 million items of property. The Student Hub can help you add yours to protect your property and to help the police stop property crime.
Register
Register your property free by visiting the Student Hub or www.immobilise.com; it only takes a couple of minutes and once you have registered you will have a better chance of getting your property back if it’s lost or stolen.
Report
If any item of registered property is lost or stolen, report it to Immobilise via your online account. This information is then made available nationally to all of the major UK police forces through their online systems.
Reunite
If your registered property is recovered, either the police or Immobilise will contact you and let you know its location.
