Many UNIGIS students are returning to study after several, in some cases, many years away from education. At the beginning of the course, some students are understandably concerned that their study skills may need revising. Fortunately, a number of organisations have generously placed their study skills guides onto the Web. Below are some sites which help students to develop study skills.
