IT training

If you are new to IT, we can help you acquire the basics. Or, if you have some IT experience, Jisc's digital capabilities questionnaire helps you identify where you may need some extra support to help you study in a digital world.

Our IT Training team offers one-to-one training and can help you prepare for the demands of university study, improve your basic IT skills, or learn about specific software for an assignment. Book a 1:1 appointment or watch the IT induction video.

Check out the Learning Skills Hub

Whether you need some extra help with finding resources, guidance on how to write an academic essay, or want to up your grades, we have a range of resources and online modules for you! If you're looking for in-person support, the Learning Skills team offer guidance on researching information, referencing and writing assignments. Each Faculty is assigned a specialist Learning Developer and Learning & Research Librarian - meet yours.

Meet your Personal Academic Tutor

You’ll be allocated a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) when you arrive. Your PAT will provide you with academic support, helping you to identify the academic skills you need to develop in order to succeed in your studies.

Connect with a peer mentor 

Our student peer mentors are current students, trained to provide a safe and confidential space for you to talk freely and ask questions. They can provide reassurance and guidance to help you succeed in your studies, build support networks and feel connected to the wider University community.

Discover your library

Get to know your library. Take a self-guided tour of Augustine House (Canterbury) or Drill Hall Library (Medway), check out the library webpages or feel free to ask for help at one of the information points. Additionally, the Library and Learning Resources team have scheduled these special activities throughout the first half of Semester 1.
