There are also plenty of ways you can improve your writing yourself, by better understanding what makes good academic writing. Have a look at our information on writing and referencing and see our workbook on how to improve your work before submitting. If English is your second language you can get additional support.

MS Editor – as part of the Office 365 suite of products that UWE Bristol provides students, you can access MS Editor. When using Office 365, MS Editor will help you to improve your writing, providing corrections and refinements to your writing.

Also, always pay attention to the feedback you receive from academic staff on your submitted assignments – you can use this to improve your subsequent work.

Checking the originality of your work and avoiding plagiarism is an important part of submitting good assignments and avoiding any academic offences.

The University uses SafeAssign to help identify plagiarism. You can submit your work to SafeAssign before your final submission. This may give you an indication as to the level of originality of your work.

UWE Bristol does not provide a proofreading service. We do however offer support and advice to help you to improve your own work as above.

You can find paid for proofreading services outside of UWE Bristol but we suggest caution here. You need to be aware of the risks of committing an assessment offence where proofreading may overstep the boundary in how it improves your work. Some services offering to write your work for you are illegal. We encourage you to look at the support available to you through UWE Bristol which will help you avoid committing an assessment offence and will help you build your own skills for this and your future assignments.

If you’ve tried the help above and you still have questions, you can make an appointment to speak to a member of library staff for one-to-one support. During an appointment, library staff will be able to look at small sections of your work and coach you to apply study skills techniques.
