Are you enrolling at Edge Hill University this autumn? Would you like to get a head start on your academic skills? Or perhaps you’re worrying about the transition into studying in higher education (HE). Well, if you are joining Edge Hill this year we would love to welcome you at one (or all!) of our Getting Started With UniSkills Webinars.
The Library and Learning Services Student Engagement team (you may come to know us more as the UniSkills team) have put together a series of webinars to help you step up to study at university level.
All sessions will be held online and are perfect if you’re wanting to get a taste of the kinds of academic skills you will develop at university. They are also a great opportunity to ask our Academic Skills Advisors any questions you might have about writing, referencing, or finding academic information.
