How to use this guide

You will find that each section of your Subject Guide will be useful for different assignments and stages of your courses so it is recommended that you click through the different headings to familiarise yourself with the main resources you will need most often. It is a good idea to check the Databases section as these are the main resources you will need to find up to date academic research, company information, legal resources, and many others.

Treat this guide as a hub of information that brings together the main resources you need in one place without lots of searching.
