Adult Students’ Programme
This series of six tutorials is offered as extra tuition to help first-year adult students gain an insight into university culture and achieve academic success.
The weekly meetings during term time provide an opportunity to have regular contact with a small group of first year adult students, to learn university skills that will help raise grades, and to make a smooth transition to university studies.
