Studiosity

Studiosity is an online service providing students with 24/7 academic writing support either by live one-to-one chat or by uploading a more significant piece of draft writing for review. Each student has 8 credits (per half year) that can be used this semester and each credit gets one support session.

Feedback will be on academic writing, rather than subject content, and a student will get feedback on structure, referencing and grammar. Click here to find out more and to access Studiosity.
