The University of Worcester offers a package of support to students to improve the quality of their academic writing. Below, you will find information to support you in developing your academic writing. 

 

For guidance on how to improve your academic performance, Firstpoint have developed the following document ‘Improving your academic performance’. 

Our advisors are not academic staff and cannot advise students on improving work, referencing and proofreading. The places you can get support are listed below.
