Is it for me?
Yes - if you are starting a course at Abertay in September and want to be well prepared.
Yes - if you are coming from college and want to be ready for the different ways you will be expected to study at university, for coursework assignments and for exams.
Yes - if you got your place in clearing and need to get ready fast.
Yes - if you're nervous about starting university and want a confidence boost.
The Bridging Programme is designed to be flexible so you can pick which sessions to come to and on which days and times. That way, you can focus on the skills you need most help with and juggle other commitments with your preparations to get off to a good start at university.
Up to three full days of preparation sessions are on offer.
How do I know what to come to?
Basic sessions are for you if you are: a school leaver, applying late through clearing, a mature student, or returning to education
Intermediate sessions are for you if you are a direct entrant joining second or third year of a degree and for everyone completing the basic sessions
Advanced sessions are for: direct entrants joining third or fourth year and for everyone completing the intermediate sessions
Pick the selection of basic, intermediate and advanced sessions to suit your needs. The more you come to, the better prepared you'll be.
