Skills Week

Officer Leads:

Matthew Paterson - VP Education & Advice Centre

27 October - 31 October 2025

Join VP Education Matthew for a week of blog posts and events dedicated to helping you thrive at University both in your Academics and in your future careers.

Whether you are a third or first year, it’s always good to brush up on your referencing or how to find sources for research, which is why we are working with the Librarian team as well as Academic Skills to help you out!

On socials, we’ll be giving quick explainers about all things academic regulation, from extensions to EC’s and referencing and AI, we’ll be giving you all the information you need to know.

Got any burning questions still not answered? Towards the end of the week we will have a chance for you to speak with the SU advice team and careers coaches about what else we can do for you and what comes next, all surrounded by pizza and your Academic Reps for you to talk with about what skills you want to develop and want integrated into your course to help us represent your academic interests!
