Skills Lab

Maximise your academic potential and gain transferable communicative skills alongside your core studies

Are you wondering how to get more from your studies? Do you want to manage or perform better in academic tasks? Are you looking for ways to deal with academic struggles? Focussing on developing core abilities can help.

UT Skills Lab provides workshops and courses on transferable communicative skills for BSc and MSc students from all programmes. Most are designed and delivered by a mix of UTLC professionals and specialist external training companies.

These courses are designed to support you with two things: immediate assistance with academic tasks, and development of communicative skills that are useful within and beyond your studies. They do not bear academic credits, but you will gain a certificate of completion.

You can attend with a specific task you want to prepare for (e.g. a presentation, group work, thesis), out of general interest, or to meet people with similar interests (or struggles!) from other programmes.

Take a look and see if anything stands out!
