Expert guidance in study skills, mathematics and statistics

 Announcement

Centre for Academic Development Christmas closure

Please note that the last date for appointments with the Centre for Academic Development before Christmas is Thursday 19 December. Appointments will resume as normal on Monday 6 January.

The Centre for Academic Development tutors offers tutorials on study skills, mathematics and statistics for Oxford Brookes University students at all levels from foundation to PhD. 

For example, we can help you to develop skills in planning and structuring your assignments, developing your academic voice, referencing, time management, reflective writing, interpreting assignment briefs, writing literature reviews, refreshing your numeracy skills, understanding mathematical concepts, dissertation data analysis  and much more.

We do not offer proofreading, but we can help you to develop the ability to be critical of your own work and improve your writing. Similarly we won’t do your maths and stats for you, but we will help you to develop the skills and confidence to succeed.

How to book an appointment

Appointments last up to 40 minutes and should be pre-booked by email or phone (please see above notice on Christmas closure).

Let us know whether you would like an appointment in study skills, mathematics or statistics, and whether you would prefer your appointment to be online (via Zoom) or face-to-face. If you would like an appointment at another campus, please check the dates below for availability.
