Consultations for international students on academic literacy skills 

The International English Centre (IEC) is offering one-to-one consultation sessions for international students, focussing on English language skills in the academic context. 

This is a free service, open to all registered undergraduate and postgraduate students at Aberystwyth University.  Students can meet with an IEC English language tutor to gain advice and guidance on their use of English for academic tasks such as written assignments and oral presentations.  

The sessions are up to 50 minutes long and students are entitled to a maximum of 3 sessions per semester.

The sessions will be most useful for:

a)      Students whose first language is not English;

b)      Students who are relatively inexperienced in studying through the medium of English

Note:  the consultations are not drop-in sessions and are provided by appointment only.
