Welcome
PASSIONATE ABOUT HIGHER EDUCATION
We are the student learning division of Bloomsbury Academic. We develop books and learning resources for university-level students, from undergraduate to graduate with a focus on the Social Sciences, Humanities, Business and Study Skills.
Our academic textbooks are some of the most successful in print and our sophisticated e-learning resources integrate seamlessly with course delivery.
This year will mark 25 years of our study skills publishing and we’re 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.
Over the decades, social, cultural and technological changes have transformed the higher education landscape and we remain committed to commissioning products which reflect the reality of what it means to be a student in higher education today. Beyond core academic skills, we publish books which deal with topics such as employability and student wellbeing.
Previously Macmillan Study Skills, in 2021 we rebranded to Bloomsbury Study Skills, tying together our portfolio of study skills resources for students and early career researchers looking to develop their skills across the full range of qualitative and quantitative research methods.
