Are you struggling to progress with your dissertation writing? Come along to this in person session which offers you a place and space to write, using known techniques to get you started. We will start each session with tips on a different section of your dissertation. Subsequently, you can use set writing blocks to achieve your writing goals for the day (which may be for any part of your dissertation). During these writing blocks, you can, if you wish, book a slot to speak to a Study Adviser or an Academic English tutor and receive individual advice. You should be available for the whole morning, and remember to bring your work and your laptops (or pen and paper) with you.
