You have a range of support available to you while studying at Surrey. From academic skills to support with specific learning difficulties, we aim to give you the best help possible to achieve your learning potential.
MySurrey Hive can provide you with support relating to your course and offer advice on assessment issues.
You will be allocated a personal tutor at the start of your first week at University and will normally keep this tutor throughout your studies.
Studying successfully at university is all about becoming an informed, independent learner, yet the best independent learners are those who are not afraid to seek advice about their work and how to improve their studies.
The Academic Skills and Development team offers advice to help you develop your confidence in how you approach your learning at any stage of your course.
They provide guidance on any aspect of studying effectively including critical thinking, researching information and referencing, planning and writing assignments, using feedback effectively, revision and exam strategies, and helping you to develop sustainable study habits.
The team offers confidential, impartial and non-judgmental one-to-one advice and guidance - a 'safe space' to discuss any issues of concern - as well as a range of workshops and developmental programmes.

Maths and/or statistics skills are vital for many programmes at the University of Surrey. For many students, succeeding in these areas is a matter of improving confidence and ability to work independently on maths and statistics problems.
The Maths and Statistics Advice team offers guidance and support to students whatever their level of maths and statistics ability. Becoming an independent, confident learner means knowing when to seek advice, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if you are finding the maths or statistics content of your programme difficult or if you wish to talk through some of its finer details.
The team offers confidential and non-judgemental advice in its drop-ins and appointments, via guided discussion of your lecture notes or supported practice in solving maths and statistics problems and interpreting and articulating data, allowing you to build your confidence and empowering you to become a better independent learner. Additionally, the team provides a range of themed workshops.
