These workshops will help you develop a range of skills that can be used to help organise your study routines, but will also prove useful in the world beyond university. Behind all the workshops is the aim to help you become a more efficient and effective learner – to achieve more in less time. You’ll learn how best to organise your study schedule in line with what science tells us about how we learn, and how to become a more creative thinker. You will also learn proven and effective time management and memory techniques to help you organise your study schedule.

Here you can explore the live workshops the Centre for Academic Success has to offer over the next couple of weeks on the theme of Study skills.
