Workshops New to studying and unsure of how to get started? Want to be more efficient and effective in how you study? These workshops provide the ideal opportunity for you to be proactive in enhancing your skills.

Workshops are open to all University of Bedfordshire students on a first-come first-served basis. Writing and study skills sessions take place in Luton (University Square) and Bedford (Polhill) during October and February. Exam preparation sessions will be offered during May.

Drop-in (Study|Hub) During term time the Professional and Academic Development Team offer a free drop-in service. This is open to all University of Bedfordshire students on a first-come first-served basis. Tutors running drop-ins will try to see students for at least 30 minutes (although this will depend on demand). If you and your friends have similar questions why not come together? We can see up to 5 students at once during a drop-in.

More information about drop-ins (including opening times) is available at: lrweb.beds.ac.uk/pad/drop-in
