Get support with your studies from My Learning Essentials

My Learning Essentials is the Library’s award-winning skills support programme. The programme includes both face-to-face workshops and online resources covering a range of different topics –. Want to develop your skills in academic writing, referencing, stress management or anything in between? Don’t sweat it - we’ve got you covered.

As students, you can choose how you want to engage with the programme. First of all, you can choose which skills you want to develop based on your individual goals and interests. Then you can choose how you want to enhance those skills – whether that means booking onto a face-to-face workshop and learning alongside your peers or accessing our online resources wherever you are.

My Learning Essentials is not just about academic skills. We understand that it is important to develop strategies to support your personal wellbeing and other needs in order to be successful at University and achieve your goals.

We partner with key services from around campus including the University Counselling Service and the Disability Advisory and Support Service. Staff from these services deliver workshops as part of the programme, making sure that you have the support you need to make the most of your time at Manchester.

But you don’t have to listen to us – hear it straight from the students themselves!
