To help you prepare for the upcoming Christmas break, we've made a list (and checked it twice) of our top tips for studying over the holidays
1. Get the help you need before the holidays
We're running our Study Skills Live sessions right up to the Christmas break. Brush up on your library skills, including searching, referencing and using generative AI for good, with our interactive online sessions. Find out more and book a session here
2. Access resources 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
We've got resources to help you wherever and whenever you're studying:
