Study skills seminars
Studying Science at University may require students to learn new study skills to add to those gained in high school. It's a new environment that students need to explore and conquer for themselves - but we're here to help.
The Academic Skills Unit, in conjunction with the Science Student Centre is proud to offer the following special seminars that provide specific Science focussed tips and advice to get students moving in the right direction.
Study skills seminars - Semester 2, 2008

We look forward to seeing students there!
