Skills Bridge: Welcome 2024

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

Join us on a one day in person course on site in Stoke to gain essential knowledge and skills to make a positive start on your studies.

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! 

Contact academicskills@staffs.ac.uk for more information.  

The Academic Skills Team 

Whether you're transitioning from school or college or returning to education as a mature learner this is a great opportunity to make sure you’re equipped with the academic and digital skills and knowledge you’ll need to excel during your studies with us.
