About the centre

Since 1989, the centre has been helping people develop their academic language and literacy skills.

We run courses and programmes for people at all levels and from a wide variety of backgrounds. Whether or not English is their first language, we help people learn to communicate more effectively, both within and between disciplines.

Find out more about the centre.

The centre's sessions have transformed my academic abilities and equipped me with skills beyond the classroom. Whether writing research papers, presenting my thoughts or participating in discussions, I feel more confident and articulate.
