The Subject Support Librarians deal specifically with referencing. They offer one-to-one appointments in this area and provide online referencing guides. Visit the Library subject support teams webpage for more information.

The Centre for Academic Success also offer 30-minute one-to-one appointments face to face or online throughout the year where a tutor can look over a section of your written work and give advice on aspects such as the grammar, structure and style. Appointments can be booked by visiting the One-to-one support  webpage.

Plagiarism is an academic offence where another person’s ideas are not appropriately acknowledged. This includes referencing incorrectly, poor paraphrasing, or presenting someone else’s work as your own. At Swansea University, academic staff use Turnitin software to help them identify plagiarised work. Please take a look at  the Academic Misconduct Guide which contains short videos and tips on how to avoid academic misconduct.

We offer a range of workshops on the theme of Academic Integrity. We also have online self-study resource on Academic Integrity on Canvas that you can work through in your own time.

You can request a group session by completing this online form: Requesting Bespoke Skills. If the exact option isn’t there, just choose the closest option and write in the notes what you would like to discuss.

The one-to-one appointments are extremely popular and get booked up quickly. We usually recommend booking a week or two in advance of your assignment submission date to ensure you get a space.

You could keep an eye on the bookings page as if there is a cancellation, one could become available sooner.

If you would like to look into receiving additional support or exploring a diagnosis, please contact the Wellbeing and Disability Service by completing the Student Support form. Once your form has been reviewed, the Wellbeing and Disability Service will be in touch to advise you further about the next steps. For more information, please visit the Student Support webpage.

The Centre for Academic Success offer 30-minute one-to-one appointments in areas such as writing, presenting, maths, statistics and Microsoft skills. Appointments are available throughout the year and can be booked from our one-to-one support booking site.

The Centre for Academic Success offer a number of paid work experiences, that you can take advantage of around your studies. These are valuable opportunities in which you receive training, gain work experience and skills that will improve your CV and future employability.
