Success in second year and beyond
Second year can feel like a big step up. We recommend the links and advice on our second year and beyond page if you’d like to know more about better reading, better referencing, better writing, or you’re thinking about your independent study. Book on to Study Skills Live if you need to know more about reading, referencing, systematic reviews or getting organised. We’re here to help!
