Study Skills Home Page: Overview

Welcome to your Study Skills homepage! Your friendly Study Skills advisers are here to provide guidance on your academic skills development.

An image of a tool box on green background, with white writing surrounding it. The title is What are Study Skills, and the explanation is to think of them as the tools you need to use at university. Examples included are revision, referencing, academic writing, group work, using feedback, academic reading, notemaking, critical analysis, academic honesty, reflective writing, listening to lectures, and scientific writing.

Find guidance on these skills and more below!
Scroll down to view online resources, and find out how to book a one-to-one appointment with an adviser, attend a workshop, or pop into a drop-in. 
We look forward to advising you.
