SWANSEA University has given £50,000 for investment in the Academic Success Programme, so that it now helps all students as well as international students.
The initiative is designed to equip Swansea University students with the academic tools they need to excel in their degrees.
The Senior Management team of the University agreed to set aside the funds so that the programme will be open to all home undergraduate students; specifically targeted towards first year students, particularly those for whom study skills is not embedded within their courses.
Alan Speight, Pro Vice Chancellor for Student Experience said: “I encourage all students, and especially new students, to make good use of ASP and to provide us with their feedback later in the session on its effectiveness.”
Zahid Raja, education officer, said: “The Students’ Union is pleased to see this investment and excited to see how current students will benefit. It is important that the University continue to fund the ASP to introduce study skills directly into degree programmes.”
