Study Skills Resources

Unlike with undergraduate degrees, the grades for postgraduate programmes matter from the very beginning of the course, so it's important you know how you can access study support right from the start. You may also be expected to work more independently than for undergraduate study, so you'll have to be more self-driven and organised about how you use your time.

We have an excellent Academic Skills team who will be on hand to support you throughout your studies. They have developed specific resources and workshops to assist with your transition to University.

Take some time to look at the Academic Skills Gateway, which is the Library Services skills resource portal.
