How-To Hub

Our 'on demand' How To videos are packed with useful information to help you prepare for university. Covering topics we know students often have questions about before they arrive, each video is presented by the experts who support these processes every day.

Short, practical, and easy to access whenever you need them, these videos help you find answers quickly so you can stay on track and focus on getting ready for an exciting start to university. These session will available from Monday 3 August 2026. 

This year topics we are covering are:

Our live sessions give you the chance to explore key topics in more detail before you arrive at university. We know that some subjects need a little more time and explanation than a short video can provide, so these sessions are designed to take a deeper dive into the information you need most.

Each session is hosted by members of our university staff who support these areas as part of their day-to-day roles. This means you'll be hearing directly from the people who know the processes best and can provide the most up-to-date advice and guidance.

You'll also be able to submit questions before the session through the booking platform, giving our presenters the opportunity to cover the topics that matter most to you. Bookings for our live sessions open on 3 August, and we encourage you to reserve your place early to make sure you don't miss out.
