On hand to help with a range of academic issues, the Advice Service can advise or signpost you to further guidance. You can book an appointment with them or pop in during their opening hours. 

Library

There is a range of services available via the library. You can ask them a question to find specific help by filling out this Information Hub form or emailing the team at library@le.ac.uk.
