REACH! University Transition Workshops
Studying at university is quite different from school. Reach! is QM’s transition workshop programme that will help you make a flying start to your university education. Reach! will equip you with the tips and skills you’ll need to succeed with your studies. You’ll learn about UK academic culture, effective study techniques, essay writing, data visualisation, how to recognise disinformation and lots more.
Reach! workshops are organised by the Academic Skills Enhancement (ASE) team based in QM Library Services. The workshops run online from Welcome Week to Reading Week and are of particular to benefit to First Year and Foundation students, as well as anyone who wants to brush up on their academic skills.
. Places for the live event are limited to 250 per session. Access the Reach! workshop series on QMPlus.
