Our service

What do the Skills Team do

The Skills Team is here to help you develop academic and digital skills to support and enhance your studies and research. We cover study, writing, referencing, resource discovery, analysis, presentation and ICT skills. We support this through personal appointments, video tutorials and online guides, all of which can be accessed through this website.

What online support is on offer

We have a range of video tutorials, and we also offer online appointments.

Where do I find the Skills Team

The Skills Team is based in the Brynmor Jones Library and you can access all of our services through this website.

When you book an appointment, you will receive directions to a room on the first floor of the library. Our Welcome Desk staff will be happy to give you directions if needed.

Do you offer proofreading?

The Skills Team is not a proofreading service, but we do provide advice on how to develop this skill yourself. See our proofreading page on our SkillsGuides.

You should never need to pay anyone to proofread your work, because the University provides a lot of support and advice to help you learn how to proofread your own work. However, we have produced some guidance for you and the proofreader if you decide to pay for a proofreading service.
