Study Skills
General study skills are essential to getting the most out of your time at university. Such skills can take time to develop and will be personal to you.
The subsections cover some general study skills. They include:
- Different learning styles. Your learning style refers to the way that you take information, process it, remember it and express it. There are many different ways to categorising learning styles, and it is likely that you may not fit into one category perfectly or will move between styles
- Practical tips for study skills throughout the semester
- Note taking in lectures and tutorials
- Reading skills
Other skills that are important are your time management skills and your ability to make the most of tutorials etc., which are covered in other sections of this site.
Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page for further general study advice and make the most of your feedback to help you develop your study skills.
