Online Workshops

We run free academic skills workshops for students who would like guidance with academic study skills, computing, mathematics, and data analysis with Excel. We run sessions both online and on campus.

Each workshop is interactive:

First, we explain an academic skill and demonstrate how to improve on it. Then you will have the opportunity to practise what you are learning through activities.

Workshops are approximately 45 to 60 minutes long and are open to all students. You do not need to prepare anything in advance.

ACE Digital Badges
