School vs Uni essay formatting and grading
Find out how to navigate reading lists, learning from multiple teachers, credit counting, and what a uni grade system looks like.
Career services
Work placements, part time jobs, and the importance of building a CV and cover letter from day one, will all help you after you graduate.
Identifying transferable skills
You don’t need to know what you want to be in order to be successful at uni. But you’ll have a head start by being able to identify transferable skills.
Harvard Referencing
We’ll cover what Harvard Referencing is, why you need to be familiar with it, and the basics of how to use it.
Becoming a global graduate
Stats show that students who study abroad have a higher chance of finding a job after graduating. Let’s explore how this could impact you.
