Academic Skills Team

Developing skills for effective learning

The Academic Skills team within LEaD helps students to increase the effectiveness of their study skills and to achieve the best results.

We can also work with students to develop a personal study plan appropriate to particular learning styles.

Students can request one-one support or work with others in small groups.

All help is impartial and confidential. We also try to ensure that all calls and email messages are responded to within 3 working days.

We can help with:

• Developing  effective academic writing skills
• Revision techniques
• Understanding your own learning style
• Understanding tutorial feedback
• Time management
• Preparing oral presentations
• Improving note-taking
• Essay and report writing
• Critical thinking and evaluation

Academic skills workshops are also on offer throughout the year.

Please note: The Academic Skills team does not provide a proofreading service
