Free sessions to develop your numeracy skills

The Numeracy Drop-in Centre offers free individual help with the Mathematics and Statistics components of any first-year subject.

The Numeracy Drop-In Centre will be open on Zoom in Session 2. At this time the Numeracy Centre support is only available online. We will return to face to face offering of support when the university decides that it is safe to do so.

Our Centre is staffed by both permanent academic staff and casual tutors. You can view the expertise of each tutor is advertised on our timetable.

No assignment questions will be answered, but students have access to:
