Skills Labs and Booster Session offer

Skills Labs

Our Skills Labs are 45-minute interactive skills sessions with 15-30 minutes dedicated to an activity. These are informal but structured sessions based on the University of Derby Skill Set (discoverable within Develop@Derby.) Each session will focus on a particular skill and will offer students the opportunity to consider their own skills development through discussion and reflection time.

Skills Boosters

Our Skills Boosters are short 15-minute activities delivered several times across an hour session. Activities will be fun and interactive and based on the University of Derby Skill Set (discoverable within Develop@Derby.) Students will select a skill and the session facilitators will provide an activity to suit. The activities will provide an introduction to the skill set and an opportunity for further discussion and signposting to resources.
