This resource will provide an overview of how to identify your learning style in order to improve your approach to studying.

What are learning styles?

Learning styles are theories describing individual preferences for how we like to learn and how we best retain new information.

Why identify your learning style?

Identifying your learning style involves understanding how you tend to learn best. You can use this information to your advantage when you study by using learning approaches that work well for you, such as writing out notes, creating mind-maps, using models or reciting out loud. This can assist you with in-class learning and with examination revision.

The different learning styles

There are many different learning style models that attempt to explain differences in learning between individuals. One of the most widely known is the VARK model, which includes the Visual, Auditory, Read/write and Kinaesthetic learning styles - these are detailed below.
