The FBSS Academic Skills Centre (FBSS ASC) supports all students within the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences with structuring and editing traditional academic writing.
What is an Academic Success Centre?
Each faculty offers its own Academic Success Centre (ASC), providing personalised, confidential support to help students excel in their studies. The ASCs specialise in:
- Planning and writing in an academic context
- Study skills (e.g. note-taking, time management, exam preparation)
- Research techniques
- Proper referencing
- Effectively using AI in university work
- Understanding and applying feedback
- Presentation skills
- Basic English language support*
- Assistance with other study-related concerns
The FBSS ASC cultivates critical thinking, awareness of presentation and organisational skills and is staffed by a team of selected and trained postgraduate and academic tutors.

Please note that the ASCs do not offer proofreading services.
All students, regardless of subject or academic level, are welcome. Whether you’re achieving high marks or simply seeking improvement, no question is too small or too complex. At the ASCs, there's no judgement – our goal is to help you enhance your work. If we cannot assist with your specific concern, we’ll direct you to someone who can!
The skills you develop by taking part in this activity can be used to build your Kingston Award reflections on Career Zone. Find out more by watching our Kingston Award video, visiting our Kingston Award webpages or getting in touch kingstonaward@kingston.ac.uk.
