At Oxford University Press we create study skills textbooks to help students build the academic and life skills needed for success. Our skills textbooks cover both the technical skills relating to a specific subject area and the soft skills needed for career success. Our range of popular textbooks includes Maths Skills for Success at University and Essential Academic Skills.
  • Comprehensive skills-building resources to support students in their studies

    Our textbooks support students in developing the essential skills required to succeed in higher education. They provide comprehensive learning support and guide students in the most effective study methods.
  • Soft skills that create confident and competent life-long learners

    We understand the importance of soft skill development, which is why we create study skills resources that focus on developing students’ confidence in thinking critically, communicating ideas and solving problems.
  • Available in a range of formats and across a varying range of disciplines

    We publish relevant and affordable study skills textbooks that support students from their studies into their career. All new titles are available in paperback, eBook and eBook rental format, providing you with content flexibility and price choice.
