Study Skills Resources

Introduction

You may already be familiar with learning online, or it may be a brave new world. Either way, to flourish you need to become comfortable with learning independently. This means maintaining your motivation, establishing, and sticking to a routine, and developing your time management skills..

It is also essential that you understand what is expected of you when studying at university level and know how you can meet these expectations. This includes reading and researching, information skills, thinking analytically and critically, and writing to an academic standard.

To help you with this we have access to a wide range of resources that offer guidance and support that you can use to bolster your study skills and ensure that you achieve everything you are capable of.
