Skills for your academic success

Your Library and Skills Centre provides a wide range of support and resources to help you succeed. The 2024/25 series of online bootcamps starts with digital essentials, and then moves on to support for assignments. Webinars and workshops have also started and provide you with an opportunity to hone your writing and referencing skills. 

All students can now use Turnitin Draft Coach as an add-on in Microsoft Word, which checks grammar and references alongside similarity checks to help avoid unintentional plagiarism. Most masters students can also use a service called Studiosity which provides feedback on academic writing.
