Academic and study support
The study support at Menzies College offers a broad range of academic support to first-year students to achieve the very best they can.
Study focus groups
A Study Focus Group is a course-based, collaborative group of first-year learners that meets weekly with an experienced student Study focus group mentor.
Study focus groups help students with important skills such as independent learning, assessment and note taking. They also help to guide and motivate first-year students and incorporate a range of social activities.
Mentors are also available on call to solve any study problems.

Two groups are offered in Humanities and Social Sciences in order to cater better for the wide range of subjects in this faculty. Where a study focus group is not offered, we hope to be able to provide Specialist Subject Tutors to meet the needs of first year students.
