Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL)

Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) is a peer-learning scheme designed to help you settle into university life. Starting university can be a difficult time for anybody, and speaking to students who have been through a similar experience may help.

  • Are you a student who started with us here at UWTSD for the very first time?   
  • Do you have questions that need answering?   
  • Are you worried about your assignments?   
  • Do you need help with knowing who to speak to for help?   
  • Would you like to speak to an existing student who knows what it’s like to be a new student?   

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then you may benefit from speaking to our team of PAL student mentors. One of the PAL mentors will contact you with more details if PAL is available in your subject area.

  • Whether you are a student who would like to attend PAL or is interested in becoming a mentor or a member of academic staff interested in setting up PAL activity around your own subject area, please contact a PAL supervisor for your institute:

Testimonial

I really enjoyed the PAL sessions. My mentor was so nice and friendly and made the sessions welcoming and informative. They informed me of helpful referencing guides, they helped me navigate the library website, and they provided advice about what modules I can do next year.
