Academic Writing Centre

Supporting students in education studies.

Our centre provides support for IOE students in the form of workshops, webinars, one-to-one tutorials, writing retreats and online resources. Our sessions and resources are specifically designed to support academic writing in Education and related disciplines.

COVID-19

We continue to offer online academic writing support in the form of webinars, online writing retreats, online tutorials and self-access resources.

We support both home and international students, and also offer pre-sessional support to students who have yet to commence their study at the Institute.

“The Academic Writing Centre made a huge difference to my experience studying at the IOE. Their classes really helped me develop my writing and I improved my ability to understand and critique my reading. I feel like I got more out of it as a result. They were one of the best parts of my whole MA. - Nina, Early Years Education MA
