Get ahead with your study!
Northumbria Skills Programme can support you in making the most of our time at university and help you acquire the skills you need to become an independent and effective scholar. Sessions are held online and where possible at Cite Campus and Coach Lane Libraries throughout the academic year.
There are bookable skills sessions on a range of topics including effective searching, critical reading, academic writing and referencing your work correctly.
There are also regular online drop in sessions so if you have a specific question or just need general study skills advice pop along – no appointment necessary.
If you would like some individual support you can also book a one to one appointment in person ,via email, phone and Microsoft Teams.

Researcher Development
The Library’s Researcher Development Programme is open to postgraduate research students (PhD), early career researchers and academic staff. Workshops and briefings are designed to support the development of knowledge, core competencies and transferable skills identified in Vitae’s Researcher Development Framework (RDF) as the key elements of a successful researcher.
Online support is available in the research section of Skills Plus. Drop-ins are held regularly and you don’t have to book a place, simply turn up and speak to one of our Librarians for advice. If you would like some individual guidance you can also book a one-to-one appointment with a member of Library staff to discuss how we can support your research.
Head to the Develop you learning skills section of the University Library pages for more information.
