Help with time management and personal organisation is available for any student who is finding it difficult to establish work routines, or in balancing the demands of their course alongside other commitments. You can book to talk to one of our experienced advisors; or work through the available online resources in your own time. You may find it useful to also talk to your DoS or Tutor.
