Where to start

Based on the work of Stella Cottrell, the bestselling author of The Study Skills Handbook, Skills for Study is designed to support you in developing essential academic and study skills. We recommend you start with the diagnostic tests to identify your strengths and areas of development. This will help you prioritise which units to focus on.

As you work through the content, you may decide to take the end of module quiz to see how far you've developed. You can also re-take the diagnositic tests to see how you've improved. 

Skills for Study is super accessible, working with the latest assistive technology.
