The 301 Academic Skills Centre has been supporting peer-learning schemes at the University of Sheffield since 2014.  

We currently run 12 schemes across five faculties, working collaboratively with departments to offer regular peer-learning sessions to over 1,000 students.

Our schemes are based on the supplemental instruction (SI) model, where peer learning supports lectures and seminars, rather than replacing them.

SI is an established peer-learning model. It's used extensively in the UK and internationally to support student transition, retention and educational attainment.

Our peer-learning supervisors are trained and accredited by the European Supplemental Instruction-Peer Assisted Study Sessions (SI-PASS) centre.

Assess your skills, prioritise the ones you’d like to develop, and reflect on your personal growth - all in one place. mySkills makes it easier to record the skills you develop during your degree, identify the areas you want to work on, and showcase your skills when applying for further study or entering the professional world. https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/skills/myskills 

The Library delivers a variety of different workshops you can attend in person or online around key areas such as critical thinking and research skills. See their event calendar for times and further details. Additionally, you can work through their research skills and critical thinking online tutorials, videos, and guides at any time, and you can find answers to specific questions, or contact them, via Library Help.
