When you come to College you will be screened for additional support needs and further assessment, advice and guidance will be offered where appropriate. The support we provide directly responds to the specific art and design nature of your learning and is delivered in a way that is relevant to, and enhances your main programme of study. Learning support can help you with developing your independent study skills.
The Dyslexia and Study Skills Support Service offers:
- Initial assessment to identify any support needs
- Screening for dyslexia, and application for exam concessions if appropriate
- Support with essay work, sketchbook annotations, oral presentations, portfolio management and preparing for interviews for Higher Education.
- Weekly tutorials for students with dyslexia offering a range of support in improving literacy and organisation skills including essay planning and writing, developing reading and research skills and promoting an understanding of course related language.
- Mentor support for students with emotional/social and mental health differences
- English Language Teaching classes and tutorials for students for whom English is not a first language
