Image of mature students around a table At some point in your study journey it is very likely that you will need to plan and write an essay. Higher grades are often associated with clear and well-structured arguments, appropriate use of evidence and good communication skills. It is very common for students to put most of their energy into generally understanding module content. At this event Student Hub Live will focus specifically on enhancing your planning and writing skills.

Student Hub Live will cover the basics of academic writing and how it differs from other forms of writing; showcase different techniques that are useful in planning your work; explore how to create a coherent argument; and explain how to understand what is required in terms of description and evaluation at different levels of study.

This hour-long radio-style broadcast is scheduled to start at 1:30pm and will feature interviews, tips and activities, and you’ll be able to share your own experiences and ask questions of our guests — and each other — in the live chat. 

Whether you are a new student, studying for the first time in a while, or nearing the end of your degree, you will benefit from lots of practical advice and tips from academics, other students and Associate Lecturers. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance, and you can choose whether to get really involved in the discussions or to sit back and reflect.
