Enhance Your Skills
The Academic Skills Team offers one-to-one appointments, individual advice, tailored resources, and a programme of events to help you develop the academic skills you need.
The teams behind the Academic Skills Kit are here to help you understand university-level learning and assessment, and to support you in fulfilling your potential in your degree programme and beyond.
There are many ways for you to access support and advice on developing the information, academic, and study skills you need for every stage of your studies. One-to-one tutorials with an Academic Skills tutor, curated collections of resources tailored to the structure of the academic year, as well as regular Your Skills workshops and Drop-in sessions across campus that enable you to access support in a way that is most valuable for you.
One-to-one support
The Academic Skills Team can offer tailored and detailed advice on a one-to-one basis. We provide bookable appointments allowing you to meet with us in-person or online.
An Academic Skills one-to-one lasts for up to 50 minutes, and gives you the opportunity to discuss issues and queries related to your studies and learning, from research planning and time management to revision, drafting and editing your writing. We are experts in helping you develop the academic skills you will need for your programme.
