Need academic help?
Get advice from experienced UNSW students. Drop in or book a session for extra support from Library Peer Mentors. You can also stay up to date with library events on the What’s on page.
While UNSW Library Peer Mentors are available to offer academic guidance, UNSW College also has our very own Study Club for tailored support right here at the Student Hub located on Level 1 of the UNSW College L5 Building. Study Club is led by Peer Leaders who excelled in their courses and can help with assignments, study routines, and transitioning to UNSW life. It’s also a great place to make friends, form study groups, and build independent learning skills in a social environment.
Study Club is held on Mondays from 11am to 2pm, and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5pm to 8pm (excluding public holidays).
