St John's Study Skills Programme
The purpose of the St John's Study Skills Programme is to offer all students an opportunity to ask questions and improve their skills in relation to their core degree activities, such as essay-writing and problem sheets, as well as good working habits, such as time management and preparation for exams.
Our Study Support team are experienced, friendly and always happy to help, so if you have an academic question, get in touch!
