Our academic textbooks are some of the most successful in print and our sophisticated e-learning resources integrate seamlessly with course delivery.

For over 25 years, we have been proud to have helped hundreds of thousands of students better navigate the demands of university life. As the UK’s bestselling study skills publisher, we produce texts and digital resources to support students in the transition to university and in developing the core academic skills required to succeed on their course and in future careers.
