The Study Skills team are available to support you in many ways! From improving your time management skills to honing your expertise in critical writing, the team is there to help you develop your confidence, skills and abilities in reading scholarly resources, thinking critically, finding your 'academic voice' and can even help with your statistics skills development.
Centre for Academic Language and Development
Staff from the Centre for Academic Language and Development recognise that 'nobody is born speaking academic English'! They are available to help students develop the skills needed to make good progress throughout their studies.
Evaluating information tutorial
A self-help tutorial on evaluating the quality of readings.
IT support and training
Thinking of buying Microsoft Office, SPSS or other software? As a student of the university, you have access to a range of free software.
IT services have a wonderful suite of resources to help you with everything from getting started to developing new skills and knowledge.
Help with using Microsoft Office can be found through a suite of self learning tools. IT terminology can be confusing, so there is also a helpful glossary available.
Many queries can be resolved by going to the IT webpages for current students.
