Transition Workshops
Transition Workshops 2011
The Mature Student Office runs a series of one-day Transition to University Workshops each year for incoming first year mature students designed to ease your transition to university life. Participation in one of these workshops will provide practical advice and an introduction to academic skills in an informal group setting. It will also give you an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the university campus and to meet some of your fellow students.
