Academic Skills (ASK)

ASK - Courtney Hopf

The service I received was quick, detailed and extremely helpful. I cannot praise ASK enough for the help given as it made my confidence grow and I was able to feel completely satisfied with an essay before I submitted, which has never happened before.

The Library's Academic Skills (ASK) service specialises in teaching all Brunel students the skills needed to learn independently and thrive academically, whatever the subject.
