With the upcoming revision and assessment period, there is a wealth of support available from the Skills Centre.

We always recommend though that you refer to the Academic Registry's Exams and assessments webpages for full information and guidance.

Assessment Preparation Planner

In the run up to the assessment period, we have compiled your daily dose of motivation, strategy and study hacks all in one place.

Each day has something fresh to offer, whether it's a quick tip from a fellow student or links to help you access personalised support and feedback. Behind each digital “door” lies a new surprise – log in each day to unlock new content and stay motivated, but if you want a huge jumpstart on day one just dive right in to the whole lot.

You can access the planner in MySkills. It will be available all the way through the assessment period, until 30 May 2025.
