MySkills
We're also launching MySkills to mark the start of Skills & Employability Week. MySkills brings together academic, writing, maths and statistics, language and digital skills, as well as personal development and health and wellbeing opportunities from across the University in one, easy-to-access website.
You can use MySkills to search for and book the development opportunities you need to get the most out of your time at Bath. MySkills also includes links to useful resources for independent learning.
You can access the site at go.bath.ac.uk/my-skills or through the Useful Links section of the Student homepage.
Initially, I thought I was good at reading, note-taking and being a critical thinker. However, the academic skills modules on MySkills have taught me so much about studying. After the course I realised some aspects need more work. I need to pace myself and take the time to engage with the reading and create notes I can refer back to continually. The Macmillan ‘Getting ready for academic study’ course was clear and has given me the skills I need to cope with academic study. I recommend the course to any student. – Rachelle Wabissa, Final Year BSc Applied Social Studies
