Study Skills: Finding and Using Reliable Resources
Academic writing is based on things that we know or can conceptualise, and to do this we need to ensure that the sources that inform, inspire, or influence us are reliable.
You can also chat with our staff directly every Wednesday from 2 pm - 4 pm and periodically throughout the working week.
Alternatively, chat with our current students who will be able to share this information with you and any other course-related queries.
Or book onto one of our Open Days or Course Advice Days to find out more and speak with the team.
See the below resources to understand more about academic writing, using appropriate sources and evaluating internet sources, or see a wide range of other research and study resources available to help you.
We are proud of our work on-campus to ensure our students can enjoy #UniAsItShouldBe, COVID-secure.
