Academic Skills

Studying at university requires you to think, write and demonstrate your knowledge in new and challenging ways. You are required to complete more independent learning, and you will need new skills to manage your study, personal and work commitments. English might be your second language, or you might have to learn new scientific or technical vocabulary.

The Academic Skills team is here to assist students to develop these new skills. There is support available through workshops and individual tutorials that will help you succeed in your degree.

You can make an appointment to see an Academic Skills Adviser through the Student Advising System, or view the various services provided by Academic Skills.
