Be aware of essay mills‼️

Academic integrity means producing your own work — protect yourself and your academic reputation! If you need help unpacking, starting, or writing your papers, let us help you by booking a 1:1 appointment with one of our lovely tutors or submitting your essay asynchronously. 🔑

Academic Integrity is about far more than avoiding plagiarism, especially in the age of GenAI. Learn more via the QR code! 🔑

What’s on this Week! 🔑

Pop into one of our exam prep sessions this week - they don’t have to be exam-specific questions! Our tutors are available to help you with any and all academic questions. 🙋🏻‍♀️ No booking required.

Our weekly postgraduate writing sessions are also on! Book a place through the link in our bio! 📖

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting some tips about Academic Integrity and ethical engagement with GenAI. 👾

As exam season approaches, you might find it useful to pop into use and build a study schedule with a tutor! Even just talking your schedule through can make life feel less overwhelming. 🗓️
