Study Essentials

Off

Developing an understanding of how you’ll be taught and where to access support is a great way to start your time at the University of Sheffield.

Whether you are feeling confident about starting on your programme of study or feel a little apprehensive, the Study Essentials course is a straightforward introduction to some of the most important skills needed to succeed at university and is recommended for all new undergraduate students.

Study Essentials covers five core units that will help support success and that you will continue to develop throughout your time studying.

The resource is designed to take between one to two hours although you can take it at your own pace. You can also start the course now and revisit it at any time.
