In today's digital age, where technology plays an integral role in almost every aspect of our lives, learning digital skills has become more important than ever before. 
Digital skills are much more than just knowing how to use smart devices, they are also about being able to select the right tools and technologies and to continually develop new skills, as technologies change and advance.
At Plymouth, we are dedicated to providing students and staff with an extensive array of resources and training that offer support throughout their journey at the University and extend beyond it.
