Resources to help you prepare for study in the UK. Prepare for Success Many international students feel unprepared for academic life and study in the UK. For this reason, the first resource we recommend to international students is the Prepare for Success website: “Prepare for Success is an interactive web learning tool for international students who are getting ready to come to the UK for study in further or higher education. It contains learning resources which are activity-based to help you find out about different aspects of academic life in the UK and the skills needed for effective study.” Prepare for Success The learning resources on the Prepare for Success website can be used in any order by clicking on a title. Alternatively, you can use them through the 'study pathways' page if you would like to search by skill or topic. Epax Academic Writing This course teaches you the key features of academic writing.
