The Student Learning Support Unit (SLSU) offers FREE academic support to UAEU students from the time they join the university through to the postgraduate level. The unit works closely with students, with the aim of helping them fulfil their academic potential and build the skills necessary to be successful in their future lives and careers. SLSU contributes to improving retention rates and minimizing time to graduation, it also helps students develop as creative, successful independent learners. SLSU’s FREE programs, competitions, activities and events also provide students with opportunities to engage in campus life and make meaningful connections with groups and individuals outside their disciplinary areas, thus fostering a sense of belonging and community within the student body.
The service provides students with individual and group tutoring sessions, workshops, and learning support materials that assist in the development of disciplinary competence and associated skills. It also promotes the development of academic literacy and communication skills
through tutoring sessions, workshops, learning support materials, and other activities and services. In addition, it offers orientation and retention services that enable students to take ownership of their higher education experience and fulfill their academic potential.
