The purpose of the Tertiary Study Skills module is to provide students with the techniques and strategies that underpin successful academic study. The module develops generic academic study skills and provides students with a framework to apply these skills in an educational setting. The module also develops a range of skills that will benefit students in future career pathways and equip them for successful participation in employment.

In this module students are required to demonstrate an ability to work independently and an ability to take responsibility for implementing academic skills. Students are required to demonstrate that they understand the requirements for academic study and that they understand what is needed to effectively integrate these requirements into a program of study.
