Research and Study Skills
Research and study skills are important no matter your area of study or level of experience as a student. The guides below aim to improve your academic skills, grow your confidence and independence as a student for a better learning experience, and support your learning in all subjects.

Referencing
Referencing is an essential part of academic writing. This guide will cover the importance of academic integrity, introduce the NTI Harvard Referencing Style and some tools you may find useful throughout your study.
