In all areas of life we can be fed idealised images and the same applies in our study journey in terms of what is 'normal' and what we should do to be 'good students'. 

Amongst other things, we will explore key employability skills that are desirable to employers, discuss the benefits of studying in the current climate, and discover resources that are already out there which enable you to stand out from the crowd.

Discover some of the key benefits that come as a result of changing direction or taking a planned break, and find out what your options are going forward. Whether you’ve had to press pause on your studies or just want a bit of added inspiration, join us for a confidence boost to help you return to your studies.

Critical thinking is a key academic skill – the benefits of developing your critical thinking and writing skills include being able to show why you have referenced something and demonstrating a robust level of understanding. Learn how to do it!  

Get logical with your critical thinking.  Learn how to dissect and map an argument and use it to improve your critical writing skills. 

The event will introduce the three Schools (Arts and Humanities, Psychology, and Social Sciences and Global Studies) and will cover new curriculum and how it will be taught. This will be followed by what students can do once they have completed their module, and an introduction to the qualifications.

Feedback is a vital part of your study journey. Pick up new ideas, discuss your own experiences and see how other students use feedback in the most effective and constructive ways.

Completing a degree is more than just learning information: you will be learning skills that will help you study and also in the workplace. The purpose of this event is to help you to understand how your FBL degree can help you develop in your current role or how to change to something new.

Compared to focusing on an individual subject, interdisciplinary 'Open' study offers a much wider view of study and the world in general.  
In this special Student Hub Live broadcast you will find out how to make the most of the opportunities that looking beyond a single subject can offer, as well as showing how you may have been doing it all along without realising.

Have you ever been asked to write about someone else’s theory in your own words, and felt that you could never express it quite as well as the author themselves? In this SHL workshop we discuss how to deconstruct ideas in order to apply them to questions. We will also cover how to represent someone else’s writing in your own words.
