Lectures
Each semester, the Academic Support Centre arranges a number of open lectures about different topics, both in English and Swedish. The autumn lecture sessions have passed and the spring topics and dates will be published at the beginning of 2023. Stay tuned!
Recorded lectures about study skills
Do you find it difficult to keep up with your reading? Are you procrastinating your studies? Would you like to develop better note-taking skills? In that case, you should join our Canvas course with videos about study skills.

Digital drop-in
Do you have any short, specific questions about academic writing or study skills? Or do you just want to know what help is available from the Academic Support Centre? Bring your questions to our digital drop-in!
You can join our digital drop-in every Tuesday from 11:30–12:30 during the autumn semester, from 30 August until 13 December. During the drop-in, you will meet a Language and Study consultant in a private breakout room for up to 15 minutes.
Please note that we do not provide textual feedback during drop-in consultations. If you have more extensive questions, we recommend that you book a consultation instead.
