Access your module reading lists
If you’re new to Arden University, we strongly recommend looking at the reading lists for your modules.
These contain key texts, essential resources, and wider readings picked out by the academics in your school to accompany your studies.
You’ll find links to your reading lists at the end of each of your lessons on iLearn, and you can easily locate your reading lists on the Learning Success Hub website. Start by finding your first module’s reading list!
