Course aim
Personal Development
During the personal development sessions, you will focus on important skills such as effective listening, note making and research skills, enabling you to get the most out of university learning experiences. The sessions will complement the academic learning so you'll get an opportunity to apply some of the new knowledge that you've learnt in an interactive way.
Preparing for Study in the UK
Each course also includes two practical sessions on 'Applying to University in the UK’ and how it all works, and a ‘Personal Statement Workshop’ to help you understand what universities are looking for and how to make the most of your statement. These sessions include question and answer opportunities with current students.
