Can sigma help me?

sigma is here to help anyone on any course who may have a maths or stats related problem. From foundation level to postgraduate research – if you are a Coventry university student, they've got you covered. It doesn’t matter if maths and statistics are a daily part of your course, or a bit of a surprise requirement for a particular project.

Students get support from sigma over a whole range of courses, nursing to engineering, business to psychology…and everything in between. With sigma you can always expect a friendly welcome, support adapted for you and a space to ask whatever you need. The end of July can be a very busy time, so if you think you may need support (even if your deadline isn’t right away) we strongly recommend that you contact sigma as soon as possible so you can get the very best out of what they can offer you.

The time is now – your academic wellbeing will thank you later!
