Academic and study support

Academic study is a high priority at Chisholm. All residents are challenged to realise their potential and receive all the support they need to achieve this through our dedicated services and facilities.

Textbook buying scheme

Chisholm has a well equipped library providing a wide range of resources to residents. Also available is a comprehensive text book buying scheme. This enables you to get access to any recommended text book free of charge.

Study groups

There are many areas of the college where you can relax and study alone or in course groups. At Chisholm we organise study groups, lead by carefully selected and trained academic mentors. By joining one of these study groups you will find support, motivation and direction.
