What is the Skills Centre?

We are a dedicated, responsive and active learning space for the enhancement of academic skills at University College Cork.

What do we do?

We enhance the student experience through the provision of customised workshops, sessions and hands on academic support such as... 

• Customised workshops (e.g. writing skills, presentation skills)
• One-to-one sessions (Individual sessions between a student and a tutor)
• Group Sessions (sessions delivered to class groups)
• Drop-In Sessions (casual, open sessions where you can drop by with anything)
• Asynchronous feedback (feedback delivered on academic writing you submit)

All services offered to students are free and offered by friendly peers (our amazing postgraduate tutors).

We seek to provide the scaffolding and building blocks for independent and critical thinking at third level.

Transitioning to life at University is challenging, you might find that you are a little lost and would like an opportunity for some guidance on your academic journey - we are here to help.
