Academic Support
Once enrolled, you'll be able to take advantage of the workshops and one-to-one sessins hosted by the Academic Skills team to get an idea of the sort of skills you’ll need at University. They will give you some essential hints and tips and there will be chance to ask questions. They can support with:
- academic writing

- coping with deadlines
- tackling an assignment
- numeracy
