Resources

Given the diversity of experience that students have when they join university programmes, there is often a need to provide a range of resources to support student development of study skills. Hence many programmes include skills development exercises within first year modules and assessments. Fortunately, there are numerous websites that provide an excellent range of information on study skills.

The LearnHigher Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) website. LearnHigher is committed to improving student learning through providing excellent resources and practice-led research to inform the effective use of those resources. Resources for staff and students are available in 20 learning areas:

• Academic writing
