SAVI: Skills and Academic Voice for International Students

SAVI classes consist of Academic Skills sessions for International Students which focus on strategies for success in UK Higher Education. These sessions are designed to develop your academic skills and to help you feel confident and well prepared for your course and your assignments.

SAVI classes take place in sets of 3 sessions and if you sign up for them, you are expected to come to all 3 sessions. You can choose to attend a face-to-face set of sessions or an online set of sessions.
