Academic Support

Tutorials

Union College offers a full in-house tutorial program to support the academic endeavours of residents. The schedule is arranged by the Deputy Head and is specifically designed to respond to the needs of students. Experienced and knowledgeable tutors provide a teaching environment where subject understanding is increased.

Regular small groups provide individual assistance with course content, assignment writing, study and exam techniques. The tutors at Union College have recent experience, a successful academic record, depth of course knowledge and an understanding of the demands of tertiary study - invaluable assistance to both first and older year residents.

Peer Support

Living in an academic community means you learn alongside fellow residents and enjoy the networks of support that such an arrangement brings. Forget the agonies of group work with long distances to travel and difficult timetables to coordinate. Have your group meeting in one of the study areas at college, or better still, enjoy the ease of being part of a group made up entirely of college residents. Find a study buddy down the corridor at college, or contact an older year resident to gain extra help. It is as easy as that!

Academic Community

The advantage of being able to enjoy the stimulation each day of a like-minded community of intelligent and motivated students is priceless. Broaden your knowledge and gain the understanding that exposure to the ideas of others brings. Challenge your thinking - and that of others. Debate ideas and principles - sharpen up your intellectual skills and along the way discover who you are, and what you stand for.
