Learning skills

The Student Learning Skills Service offers a range of workshops and tutorials that provide guidance and information on all aspects of learning and study skills. Many students who have been out of formal education for some time find these particularly useful. In addition the Service runs Mature Students’ Days twice a year. These events offer a good opportunity to form support networks early in the academic year.

At the Cornwall Campus, the Mature Students’ Network provides peer support and organises activities.
