Academic Skills and Study Support.<\/h1>\n

Academic Skills is a vital part of your academic journey; it\u2019s why at Edinburgh Napier, we have an incredible team dedicated to the cause.<\/p>\n

You will find resources through the library to help you build up your academic skills for study support.<\/p>\n

Dive in with this post to find out more.<\/p>\n

Academic Skills Team<\/h2>\n

The Academic Skills Team<\/a> is here to help you get the most out of university and strengthen the skills you learn in lectures and practicals. They are on a mission to provide advice and guidance for your studies so you can excel.<\/p>\n

They are also available at any level of your study, whether it be starting your undergraduate or returning as a postgraduate or in your fourth year during exams. And they are also available to staff.<\/p>\n

The support you can receive from the Academic Skills covers practical skills and theory for studying. Help with essentials such as note-taking, time management and organising your workload. And then more advanced advice with critical thinking, reading strategies and academic writing.<\/p>\n

The team is there to develop key academic and study skills to help you along your degree, but also for long-term learning.<\/p>\n

One-to-one appointments with advisors, and there are drop-in sessions as well. We also recommend you have a glance at their blog.<\/a> This can keep you up to date, guides like explaining academic lingo and other guides such as essay structuring.<\/p>\n

Academic Skills and the Library:<\/h3>\n

You can find a wide range of books regarding Academic Skills through Library Search, these will be available both online and in physical books.<\/p>\n

As well as the academic skills team, you can contact your subject librarian<\/a>, someone who specialises in your subject area. They can help you navigate databases, references and finding resources. Additionally, they have crafted lib guides that are tailored to your courses, as well as helping build research skills. Appointments with subject librarians are available through the library training and events calendar, or you can email them as well. Our training and events calendar<\/a> also offers sessions dedicated to referencing management and how to use the journal collection.<\/p>\n

Resources for Study Skills<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a study and research tab on our library\u00a0web pages<\/a>. We have a section on study skills which covers how to evaluate information, essay writing tips and tricks and even grammar guides. You will also find a wide selection of study skill books available on\u00a0Library Search<\/a>. There are even more specialised sections for\u00a0Postgraduate<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0International Students.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maths Plus is for anyone who needs mathematical help, from numbers to data analysis. Ideal study help for computing, built environment or engineering, but anyone is welcome. And these sessions make sure you can get 1.1 help.<\/p>\n
