The Independent Study Kit

From “I’d love to know more about…” to a study plan you’ll actually follow.

Have you ever wanted to explore a subject in depth, but found yourself unsure where to begin, what to read or how to turn your curiosity into a structured plan?

The Independent Study Kit is a practical, 27-page digital workbook designed to help you build your own programme of independent learning - from that first spark of interest to a focused study module, a thoughtful reading list and a research question worth exploring.

Whether you're returning to learning, building an intellectual life beyond formal education or simply following a subject you've always wanted to understand better, this kit gives you the tools and structure to get started.
