Academic skills include things like assignment planning, reading journal articles, using critical thinking and a formal writing style, and creating and delivering presentations.
You can find lots of resources to help develop these academic skills in your Academic Achievement course on Canvas. This is designed to guide you through the process of doing university assessments, and includes a range of videos, presentations and guides, as well as discussions and live chats.
To see these resources, go to your Canvas dashboard and look for your Academic Achievement course. Or click on the link below that relates to your faculty and get straight in.
Many of you will use maths and statistics in your university studies and will need to do some self study in these areas. So we've created a Canvas course with lots of resources to help you develop knowledge and skills in using maths and statistics in your assessments.
This includes guidance on using statistical software like Excel, SPSS, NVivo and R, as well as advice on overcoming maths anxiety and refining your knowledge of key maths areas.
To see all of these resources and get going with self study, enrol on the Academic Achievement Maths and Stats course.
You can also use our maths revision resource tool to test and practise your maths.
If you didn't pass or submit all of your assignments this academic year, you will have referral or deferral work to complete before moving to the next level of study.
We have put together some short resources to give you information about referral and deferral assignments, as well as some strategies for managing and completing them.
To have a look at these resources and to get going with your assignment, go to our referral and deferral assignment guide.
