The Quest For Learning website provides a virtual learning support network designed to support all students making the move into third level courses. The academic demands of a third level course are very different from those at second level and this website has very useful tips on how to deal with those demands and quickly improve ones study skills in third level, guiding the student on how to set up an effective study system, how to take effective lecture notes and retain that key information. QFL has information on how to do all of the following:

• Planning your study programme.
• Finding out your learning preferences.
• Making most use of your time.
• Organising your writing.
• Taking notes.
• Planning and writing an academic paper.
• Writing bibliographies.
• Writing summaries.
• Improving your writing techniques.
• Answering examination questions.
• Memorising vast amounts of information.
• Supports available for students with disabilities.


Students with disabilities or specific learning difficulties such as Dyslexia may need additional study skills tuition due to the disadvantage of their disability or learning difficulty in a new learning situation. For example a student with dyslexia may need additional tuition in learning how to lay out an academic paper and may benefit from additional hours with a study skills tutor. If you have a disability or a specific learning difficulty you should approach the disability support services in the college or the access office for advice.
