My Learning Essentials is the Library’s programme of skills support, including both online resources and face-to-face workshops which will aid you in your personal and professional development.

Our workshops offer a relaxed group environment where you can try out new strategies for yourself while learning from and with peers.

The online resources cover everything from academic writing, how to reference and critical analysis to managing your procrastination, presentation skills and writing a CV.

You can access them through the Library website from wherever you are, whenever you need to!
