The role of the Learning Development Adviser is to provide confidential information, advice and support to students about the resources which are available to them, both within the University and from other external agencies.

Additional Support Available
| Faculty Student Support Officers
Each faculty has a Student Support Officer (SSO) who provides study skills support for all students within that faculty. They deliver both individual and group study skills sessions. You can book a one to one appointment to discuss specific difficulties or attend a study skills workshop session. Also, they offer advice and guidance on general issues related to study and university life. If appropriate, they can refer you for specialist support.

| Assistive Software
Some assistive technology software has been installed as standard on the MMU student network so that all students may benefit from using it. ‘Inspiration’ is a mind-mapping programme which is useful for students with Dyslexia or other conditions which affect the ability to organise ideas. ‘TextHELP’ is a programme which will read text on the screen. It can be used for proofreading as well as listening to other text, such as information on websites. |
