Our Skills programme is designed to create opportunities for you to develop your transferable academic and information skills, improving both your academic success and employability. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics – from finding library resources to fake news to managing your online presence.
Your lecturers will organise for you to have an in-class session during your studies; however, our team of Academic Liaison Librarians have also developed a series of online units that allow you to develop your skills anywhere, anytime, to suit you.
For further support you can book an appointment or email us at infoskills@uwtsd.ac.uk.

Introducing topics including Open Access Publishing and Research Data Management.
