For undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Faculty of Business and Law
The academic year for 2025/26 is running an online one-week course designed to help orientate, support, and prepare international and home students for UK academic study.
On this short 11-hour course, you will have a chance to learn more about life at St Marys, familiarise yourself with some aspects of academic study, meet a variety of staff, ask questions, and get to know some of your peers before arriving on the campus.
The courses aim to:
- provide you with the basics of academic study
- provide a beginner’s tool kit and information on where to go for support
- help you begin your academic journey positively with every chance for success
- support you with making friends before you arrive.
If this sounds like something you’d be interest in or you have any questions related to academic life before you begin your degree, please contact Lauren Gurteen or Paul Gascoyne who will be happy to help you. We will also be available throughout the year for students if you require any additional academic help and we will be putting on further workshops and events.
