Core Skills
At university you will need to make use of a wide range of core skills that are essential in a variety of different situations. Some of these skills you'll find easy, however; others might require a bit more effort. But it's important for you to develop effective independent learning strategies. From these pages you can access resources that will help with skills you're likely to use on a daily basis. These core skills, listed below, underpin the others that are explored in the rest of TASH resource, and will help you to make the most of it.
