Flying Start
Flying Start has been designed to help you understand what studying at University really means. It also has a pre-arrival activity that is related to your induction week which you will need to complete.
As you will discover, university is quite different from school or college, but with help from your lecturers and tutors you will quickly adapt and learn how to study effectively and independently in your new environment.
Take your time over the next few weeks to work through the four sections of Flying Start. Each one introduces new information about your course, support and the University. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions throughout which will be answered by University staff.
