Available 24/7 the Skills@Cumbria site provides a suite of online self-help resources to develop your academic and library skills. These include:
Looking for learning development support? Resubmitting coursework? Been referred by a tutor?
The Skills@Cumbria service offers various learning and development opportunities relating to academic and library skills throughout your programme. We are a team of friendly professional Library and Academic Advisors based in Library Services which is part of Student Services. We provide online resources, including our Skills TV channel, group workshops, individual appointments, Webinars and email guidance. See the sections below for more details.
We also provide Subject pages that signpost you to relevant resources for your subject.
The library provides an out of hours Ask a Librarian service. This service can help with accessing resources and signposting help (it doesn't provide academic skills support).
You can contact us via the Student Enquiry Point (StEP) tile on the Student Hub or email us via skills@cumbria.ac.uk

Students from partner colleges are very welcome to access the online skills@cumbria resources, and are encouraged to contact their own institutions for academic skills advice and guidance. Robert Kennedy College students have their own resource pages for their courses and can contact Robert Kennedy College Student Care for support with academic writing and referencing.
