What does it stand for, you ask? SPLASH stands for Student Personal Learning and Study Hub and can be found on Level 3 of the Library via the main stairs from Level 1. SPLASH is a space that promotes and supports independent learning and has several resources for students to use, including white boards, flip charts and group study spaces. SPLASH is home to a dedicated team of Student Learning Advisers and Information Skills Librarians who are here to support all aspects of your academic development including: critical thinking, writing, presenting, referencing, and journal searching.

In addition to our drop-ins from 12.00-14.00 Monday to Friday and one-to-one appointments, we also a run a series of academic workshops for students from Level 4 up to Masters. These workshops are designed for students to develop core academic skills that underpin most aspects of university study and are tailored to the particular level of your degree course. A full list of these can be found by clicking  on this link and then clicking ‘book a workshop’ on the orange tab and entering the level you are currently at.

If you have suggestions for topics that are not currently covered in one of our workshops, or you would like a bespoke mini-workshop for yourself and fellow classmates, please email us at splash@surrey.ac.uk and we will be happy to accommodate your request.

We look forward to welcoming you to SPLASH.
