Assess your skills
Starting a new degree course is exciting - but it can also be challenging. You might find that you will spend some time adjusting. Two ways that you can help yourself adjust to your new study environment most effectively are:
- making sure you know what's expected of you
- preparing in advance so you have time to adapt to new ways of learning if necessary
This exercise will help you to think about the skills that you will need in order to succeed on your course. (Remember, you will have to do all of these things in English!)
Choose the category that best represents your current level of skill or understanding - you might find it helpful to download and print the Word document so you can tick the appropriate boxes.
Along with most of the skills listed, you will find relevant on-line exercises to help you assess yourself and practise the skill.
