Global Effective Learning Service

This service aims to enhance learning and support students through the provision of classroom-based workshops and one-to-one appointments.

We offer a number of study skills classes throughout the year that are designed to help students achieve their academic potential, covering topics such as:

• Planning and organising (time management, organising coursework and balancing priorities). 
• Academic goal setting and maintaining motivation.
• Effective note taking and note making strategies. 
• Critical reading and evaluating information.
• Academic writing skills.
• Revision and exam techniques.
• Reflective learning practices.

We produce materials and deliver live classes for the Skills Hub, and also teach on programmes and courses. 

Support is also available through one-to-one appointments with students who wish to improve the way they study and attain greater academic success at the university. All students can book an online or in-person appointment with the Learning Advisor that best matches their time zone. In person drop-ins also run on the following campuses:

Dubai: Normal service hours are Monday - Friday, 10am - 6pm,

Edinburgh: Tuesday, 1pm - 4pm, Edinburgh Campus Library. 

Malaysia: Monday-Thursday, 11am - 1pm, Library.
