First Year Academic Skills Support - Tell us what you think?


Do your first year students lack the academic skills needed for success at University? 


Do you know of the supports available in NUI Galway to help students develop those skills? 


There is an opinion widely held, that students entering third level education from secondary school are not well prepared for the needs of higher education and do not have the core academic skills they need.  The provision of support for academic skills development is recognised as a key factor in student engagement and retention, particularly in first year.  NUI Galway has a range of different services that provide support for these academic skills, e.g. :

·         Skills4Study Campus (online module available via Blackboard)

·         The Academic Writing Centre

·         SUMS: Mathematics drop-in support centre

·         Information skills support via the subject librarian team

·         etc.

Academic staff, please complete our survey and tell us what you think about the skills supports needed and available at NUI Galway for first year students.

PLEASE TELL US WHAT YOU THINK

 
Students we’ll be running a survey to get your views in a few weeks – watch this space!
