Preparing for university study – online resources
Studying at university can be different from how you’ve studied before. To help you to make this transition we’ve produced some online resources.
You can use these resources to learn more about your subject of interest, as well as improve the skills you’ll need for successful study.
As a starting point to support your transition, our student education glossary brings together common university terms, processes, and phrases that students often say feel unfamiliar or unclear when they first arrive at university.
