Skills for Success (Book a session for your students here)

The Skills for Success team are experts in academic, digital and information skills and will support students to achieve academic success and become independent learners.

Learning these important and transferable skills helps students write better assignments, find more authoritative and relevant research as evidence, effectively use applications like Microsoft Word and Excel and improve their English language, maths and statistics.

We deliver our support in-person across all LSBU campuses and online via Microsoft Teams, providing resources and tutorials, workshops, drop-ins and 1-to-1 appointments.
