Study preparation
If it’s been a while since you picked up a textbook or you’re a bit unsure about how to study online, a short course in study skills will help get you ready for uni.
We offer a selection of introductory subjects to get you up to speed. As an added bonus, some of these subjects might count as an elective towards your degree. You may also be able to get government support to help with your fees—see Financial options for more information.
Here's our shortlist of courses that cover topics like the basics of online learning, essential academic skills, academic writing, and maths.
