One-to-one support

International students can really benefit from one-to-one support. Visit or chat with a Peer Learning Advisor (PLA) for advice on study, managing assessments and adjusting to university life. PLAs are high-performing LTU students specifically trained to help other students with their experience at university.

You can also meet with an Academic Skills Advisor (ASA) for advice on your assessments, preparing for exams, academic writing, study habits and more.

Check the Library opening hours to see when PLAs and ASAs are available or you can book an appointment with an ASA.
