Student life

Study skills

Build the academic habits, confidence and practical skills you need to learn effectively and make progress throughout your course.

Develop your academic skills

Study support for every level of experience

Study Skills offers workshops, one-to-one appointments and online resources for all aspects of academic learning development. Study Skills is open to all CSA students.

We work with students who are achieving high marks but want to reach the next level, as well as students who may be struggling with their course.

If you have not studied in the UK before, or are returning to study after a long gap, you will find our service very beneficial.

You do not need to wait until you have a problem. Study Skills can help you strengthen your academic approach at any point in your course.
