Student Support Workshop Series | As part of your Pre-sessional programme, we also offer a 'Student Support Workshop Series'. These workshops are designed to assist you throughout your Pre-Sessional course, offering guidance on how to prepare before you arrive and to help you transition-in to University life. This Series is an excellent resource that covers a comprehensive range of topics, including access to library services, assignment and presentation skills; and advice on finding accommodation. You will also discover the Gap Compass and how it can support you on your university journey. Meeting the Societies coordinator and members of the Society for International students will be a great opportunity to connect with others and get involved in campus life. These workshops are interactive, and students will have ample time for questions and discussions throughout. A full time-table of these workshops will be available at your Orientation, which will take place one week before your programme begins. |
