The transition to higher education is tough. Whether they come straight from A-level, join midway through a career, or re-enter after a gap in their education, your students face a steep learning curve when it comes to writing at university. They need to move from description to analysis, from fact to theory, and from scaffolded formats to independently developed arguments.

Unfortunately, little in their educational or professional background prepares them for this, leaving you to cobble together ad-hoc solutions, and your students stuck at the 2:2 barrier.

This goes beyond frustration. It can lead to:

• Disengagement

• Poor Performance

• Falling Retention

• Low NSS Scores

No one wants these things.

That’s why I created this specialist series of workshops. Writing Well at University: What You Really Need to Know, a hands-on, activities-based course that focuses on the essentials of good writing. We cover:

• Techniques for sorting, evaluating, and ordering ideas

• Turning a pile of notes into a well-structured argument

• Taking the fear out of writing

• Writing as empowered, decision-making authors

Workshops at each level can be taken free-standing or are designed to progress from Levels 4-6.
