Star is dedicated to providing a quality-assured service. Our team consists of highly qualified and passionate individuals who are committed to supporting students with disabilities. 

They proactively plan and review each student’s progress throughout the academic year.

The main goal of Study Skills support is to promote independent learning and empower students to manage their workload at university.

Sessions will be tailored to student’s needs to work towards achieving their personal Study Skills goals. 

Here are what students can look forward to:

Working closely with students on a one-to-one basis, a Specialist Mentor will enable students to better manage the impacts of their disability on their academic studies and manage the challenges of university life.
