Learning support

We want to make sure you get all the support you need while you are with us. Here you can see the range of support we can offer you while you're doing this course.


You will be able to use the University’s Careers Service and counselling service.

 

The Academic Skills Centre provides extra support for students from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences who need help with study skills. For example, you might want to improve your writing, revision or assessment skills.


StudySpace
StudySpace is an online learning management system. It is a potentially limitless resource for lecture notes and interactive teaching including:

  • access to course materials – such as lecture notes, backup materials, presentations and previous exam papers;
  • online chatrooms and bulletin boards – so you can interact with staff and other students; and
  • multimedia features – such as video tutorials.

 

Because you can use StudySpace from any internet-enabled computer at any time, you can choose when and where you study.

 

StudentSpace
The Kingston University student intranet provides a fast, easy way to find information and work online. It provides everything you need to know about student life at Kingston.

You can also use StudentSpace as a virtual workspace, customising it to include:

  • your chosen web-based applications;
  • favourite web links;
  • a useful calendar; and
  • your recently opened files.

 

The Graduate School and Centres
All postgraduate students at Kingston have the support of the Graduate School. The Graduate School:

  • runs special training programmes for research students;
  • works with academics and administrators to develop graduate education and reinforce the links between teaching and research; and
  • helps to introduce new initiatives to postgraduate activities.

 

It also manages the Graduate Centres, dedicated spaces for graduate students. These are ideal for private study or holding meetings. Find out more in the Facilities section.
