academic skills

The Academic Skills team, based within the Library, is made up of Subject Librarians, Study Skills and Digital Capabilities experts who will work with you to help you develop these essential skills.
You can access a range of resources from our detailed online support guides, plus you can make 1-2-1 appointments with members of the team for more individual support.

These Prezis were created by Erin, a former Academic Skills TA.
