What will be covered?

The event is based on feedback from last year’s new students and is designed to answer these questions:

  • How does university work and how can I achieve success in this new environment?
  • I've been told to critically evaluate something, how do I do that properly?
  • What is academic writing?
  • Do I have to reference everything?
  • How will I get everything done?
  • Where do I go if I am stuck?

It is also a great chance to ask your own questions, take part in group activities and meet new people.
