These sessions take place in different formats across our campuses and focus on the Develop@Derby Skill Set and academic skills to support your personal growth and future career goals. 

  • Embedded teaching sessions: Delivered as part of your course, covering topics like academic writing, critical thinking, literature searching, and more.

  • Skills Boosters: Fun and interactive 15-minute activities that introduce you to a particular skill and signpost you to further resources. 
     
  • 1-1 appointments: If you'd like tailored advice, you can book a personal appointment with a member of the Academic Enhancement Team, either online or on campus. These appointments cannot be booked yet. More information will follow on how to book one-one appointments.
