Skills Bridge: Welcome 2023

Coming to University can feel like a journey into the unknown: if others are making the same journey with you, it increases confidence.

It's nearly time!  

Bridge the gaps in your academic and digital skills and get ahead in your preparations for higher education

You've come to the right place!

We also have online resources that you can use to explore what we mean by academic skills and information on how our team can help you to develop these skills. 

If you'd like to talk to someone about academic skills, either now or when you're on your course, just get in touch!
