Course Overview

This course will enable you to learn how to recognise your own learning style and areas for development. You will also learn how to research effectively and efficiently, plan and write assignments at an appropriate level, identify resources for study and research, and reference accurately using Harvard conventions. You will learn skills such as analysing assignments tasks and developing a range of writing skills for academic purposes as well as how to present research findings and use online resources and electronic journals, all skills required to study at a higher education level.

It bridges the gap for any students who do not currently hold the appropriate level or traditional entry qualifications in English to access higher education. It is also ideal for those who may already have a range of qualifications or experience but not previously studied at the university level. This course provides you with an opportunity to learn academic study skills that will help you with future higher educational courses.
