The Skills Pod
Members of the University of Chester’s Academic Skills Team chat all things Academic Skills, sharing advice and anecdotes from their own experience in higher education. We have episodes on skills like referencing, critical thinking, maths and statistics, and time management.
Listening to The Skills Pod is a great way to learn hints and tips to help you during your academic journey while getting to know the Academic Skills Team.
