Academic Language and Study Skills

Helping you to achieve your best by developing your academic language and study skills whilst you’re studying at Loughborough University.

Four students sat studying at a long table. The two in the middle are working together on a laptop. Two other people stood at the back talking next to a bookcase

It doesn’t matter what your background is, no-one’s first language is academic English and the academic skills and conventions used in UK universities like Loughborough can be different from what you might be used to. There are a wealth of resources available both on-demand and bookable in person.

Current Students

There are modules on Learn which provide on-demand resources which target specific academic skills and can offer bookable face to face and online workshops:
