About
The StudyPlus team supports students to enable them to study, and prepare for assessments, as effectively as possible.
We are the student-facing part of CIDE and are also known as learning development, academic success or study skills. From 2024 onwards we are using ‘StudyPlus’ to refer to all our activities to provide greater clarity for students, although the existing academic success email address continues to operate.
Our services
The StudyPlus team provide:
StudyPlus appointments (the Academic Success Centre)
We offer one-to-one appointments with students, in person or online, throughout the year. These cover a range of topics, most commonly effective study and revision, academic writing and working with feedback. All students can book up to three appointments per year (with at least two weeks between appointments), although for students in particular need this may be increased at our discretion.
StudyPlus Canvas resources We also run the Study+ Canvas module, with self-access study resources on a range of topics. The most popular of these include learning effectively from lectures, academic writing and referencing. Students on all courses are enrolled automatically when they log onto Canvas, and content is generic to be applicable to all. If you have feedback on this content or ideas for new things we should include please contact us.
Programme teaching
We offer sessions supporting students with the transition to new levels of study, and preparing for written assessments, across most undergraduate and many postgraduate programmes. These sessions are co-designed and co-delivered with programme teams, and are tailored to the specific requirements of your cohort and curriculum. Get in touch if you would like to discuss introducing new or additional sessions within your programme.
Staff consultancy
The StudyPlus team is located within CIDE, St George’s Centre for Innovation and Development in Education. As well as supporting students we provide academic staff development and curriculum development advice for new and existing courses. We are always happy to discuss queries related to inclusive teaching, assessment and feedback literacy, or developing students’ learning, via email or in person with individual staff or programme teams.
