Learning at HLS

Welcome to the Learning Development Centre for the School of Health and Life Sciences. We provide students with academic support to help them maximise their potential in areas such as academic writing, English for academic purposes, mathematics, ICT, and general study skills.

The LDC is staffed by a team of experienced Academic Development Tutors, with particular areas of expertise and skills.  Students are encouraged to contact the LDC while studying at Glasgow Caledonian University for help and support with their studies.  Students can arrange to see a tutor either on a one-to-one basis or in a small group. During the summer of 21/22, most appointments will be held online, via email, skype, or MS Teams.

Access our online support resources on GCU learn (Note: you will need to be logged in to GCULearn first). You can also access online resources via the sub-headings listed on the left of this webpage.

Appointments can be booked online and you can also request an appointment by emailing LDC_HLS@gcu.ac.uk
