How can Skills for Learning help me develop my academic skills?

In addition to the Skills for Learning website, our Academic Skills Tutors offer support:

  • through teaching sessions
  • for individual students

We can help you develop the academic skills you need for your course. These might include: academic writing, critical thinking, maths, statistics and IT.

You can access this support in various ways:

Workshops

Skills for Learning workshops are interactive group sessions that can help you improve your academic communication, statistical analysis, IT, referencing and study skills. Each workshop develops a specific area of your academic skills. You can expect a mixture of activities, peer learning and expert advice from Academic Skills Tutors. Workshops run throughout the academic year. All workshops are free of charge and all Leeds Beckett students are welcome.

Workshop descriptions are available on the Skills for Learning website. Timetables and bookings can be accessed on MyHub.

Get Help

We offer individual appointments if you need further advice on your academic or information literacy skills. Please see the Get Help page for more information and to request 1-1 support.

In-curriculum support

We also provide tailored in-curriculum support on academic skills topics. These sessions, which are embedded into your course curriculum, can be requested by lecturers.
