Support for Thesis Writers
The Learning Skills Centre is a free advisory service and resource hub that focuses on writing and study strategies to maximise student achievement at all levels. They offer individual consultations with a learning advisor to discuss specific assignments, as well as thesis-specific workshops, seminars, lectures, and online resources on critical thinking and writing in the university context — everything from the correct use of semi-colons, to creating a citations list, to subject-specific styles of discourse.
Take the time to browse the LSC's services and resources. Sign on to a workshop, seminar, or lecture, or book a consultation. Drop in to the LSC student area at South Bank any time between 8.30am and 4.30pm (4.00pm on Fridays).
