The Learning Development Service at Queen’s is a student facing service that provides undergraduates with general academic skills support. We are based in One Elmwood. For more information, visit our website, go.qub.ac.uk/LDS

The Learning Development Service at Queen’s provides academic skills support to undergraduate students. We do this both on-course, as part of taught degree programmes, and via individual one-to-one engagement. Academic skills that we offer guidance on include: time management, exam preparation, academic writing, referencing, academic integrity, and research. You may encounter us as part of your taught modules, where we offer Canvas-based learning resources and associated live workshops. Otherwise, you are also welcome to book a one-to-one academic skills appointment with a member of the LDS team.

We offer Canvas-based learning resources, Transition Skills for University. These resources can be accessed at go.qub.ac.uk/LDSskills

Transition Skills for University comprises six units of interactive academic skills resources and are intended to support your learning as you adjust to higher education study and transition through University. These resources can form part of your own independent study or be used for teaching purposes in a classroom setting.

In the units below, you will discover video and podcast interviews with current staff and students of Queen’s, instructional videos, and downloadable resources. In each unit, you will be asked to pause and reflect on your current learning habits and consider how you can become a more independent, healthy learner.

The six units are as follows:

• Becoming a Student at Queen's
• Developing your Study Skills
• Using the Library
• Writing at Queen’s
• Referencing
• Assessment and Feedback
