Digital skills support
Providing you with the resources, tools and technologies to support you in the development of your digital skills and capabilities
In today's digital age, where technology plays an integral role in almost every aspect of our lives, learning digital skills has become more important than ever before.
Digital skills are much more than just knowing how to use smart devices, they are also about being able to select the right tools and technologies and to continually develop new skills, as technologies change and advance.
At °µÍø½âÃÜ, we are dedicated to providing students and staff with an extensive array of resources and training that offer support throughout their journey at the University and extend beyond it.
The learning support team were so helpful and would recommend them to explain anything! At no point was I lost or confused when they were showing me how to use the software.
This was really fantastic. The organisation by library staff and the taught session was just what we needed to get started on something completely new to us. Thank you!
