Academic Writing Centre
The Academic Writing Centre (AWC) provides free one-on-one sessions on essay writing tailored to the needs of individual students. Students of all disciplines and levels of writing proficiency are welcome. AWC tutors work with first-year students and advanced postgraduates alike.
You can visit the AWC to work on various grammar issues, essay structure, punctuation, and other aspects of the writing process including writer’s block and worries over unintentional plagiarism.
The AWC offers support for writing in both English and Irish. It also runs group workshops and writing competitions. Phone consultations are available for distance learners.
To get the best out of your session, bring your written work with you. Completed essays, rough drafts, and past assignments are all acceptable. You can also kick-start the writing process by discussing your ideas with us.
Remember, AWC tutors cannot proofread your essay or write it for you, but they can help you to become a better and more confident writer.
The AWC is located on the second floor of the James Hardiman Library. During term time you can drop in during our opening hours or make an appointment on our website
