Uni Skills workshops



We want you to feel confident at uni. At ease with the essentials – from writing and research to maths, memory, presentations and even managing stress. So we’re running one-hour Uni Skills Workshops twice a week for 9 weeks this semester.

Semester 2 Workshop Schedule

You can join as many sessions as you like via Moodle. They’re all online (and they’re free, of course).
All sessions run from 10.30–11.30 am. Can’t make it? A recording will be available in Moodle to watch anytime.
