School of Cross-Faculty Studies

There will be weekly skills sessions throughout Term 1 and Term 2.  These sessions are designed to help you explore beyond the taught components of your course. These sessions will include core academic skill support, but will go further into key employability skills that we have identified as useful, either through our work with students, or discussion with employers about what they're looking for. 

We will leave some of the sessions in Term 2 for you to suggest topics or skills that you'd like to cover. There is a forum below, please make suggestions of the things that you'd really like to learn/explore.  We will do our best to facilitate as many of these as possible. 

These sessions are supplementary, and optional.  But, we have designed them to support your learning and to assist you with assessments and future employability. So we really do encourage you to attend.

We will be awarding a new certificate in Transdisciplinary Skills to those students who attend 10 of the taught sessions over the course of the academic year.  In order to be awarded the certificate, we'd like you to write a brief reflection on what you've taken from the session  here on Moodle. This doesn't need to be extensive, a sentence or two will do. This helps us to explore the way that our learning connects to our broader academic experience.
