Academic Skills Centre (ASC)

First year Social Work

“The Academic Skills Centre offered me invaluable support from when I arrived during welcome week, to exam preparation during the third semester. The team are very approachable and friendly, and both the workshops and the Skills Advisors have made me feel more confident.”

The Academic Skills Centre is where undergraduate students can develop general academic, writing and mathematical skills. We are on the first floor of the Main Library on campus, which is R30 on the campus map (PDF - 824KB). Our appointments are from 09.00-17.00 Monday to Friday, except every other Wednesday during term time, when we are open until 19.00.

To contact us, call: 0121 414 3666 or email asc@contacts.bham.ac.uk
