Study Skills

Our Outreach Ambassadors can deliver any of our Study Skills sessions to your students.

Our Study Skills sessions have been designed in line with our Library's award winning work on Sixth Form Study Skills. The sessions below each focus on a different skill that will be useful to students both in the run up to their school/college exams but also while as a student at university.
