Whether studying at university is completely new to you, you're coming from college, or beginning postgraduate study, we have a range of resources and support to help you to prepare.

Make sure to watch the Tackling Assignments series of short videos on the skills required to take on your coursework, and familiarise yourself with how to avoid plagiarism in our Academic Integrity induction video.
