The Centre for the Development of Academic Skills (CeDAS) aims to enable all taught students at Royal Holloway to achieve their full academic potential.
CeDAS Academic Skills
Our team of dedicated Learning Developers provide a range of group sessions, 1:1 tutorials, drop-ins and resources tailored to studying in your subject area. These activities, delivered both online and face-to-face, address key aspects of academic writing and communication, maths, stats, numeracy, and studying independently. Find out more.
