Further self-study resources

If you're looking for help with a specific studying related issue, the best place to start is by browsing our extensive catalogue of online resources on Elite. If you need further help, you can attend a live online event, book a one-to-one appointment or access online courses on the Skills Academy, via the relevant tabs above. You can also access further self-study resources that the University subscribes to, which you can work through in your own time, and are particularly useful if you need a general study skills refresher (Bloomsbury Skills for Study) or want a deeper dive into critical thinking and research skills development (Sage Skills: Student Success).

Our broad range of resources on Elite includes short videos, webinar recordings, podcasts and downloadable study guides. Click the link below to visit out Elite homepage or go to: Elite > Organisations > Study Skills.
