When you first come to university - whether from school, college or the workplace - you may find there are lots of things you are expected to do that you've never done before. For instance, have you ever:
- given a presentation in front of an audience?
- used referencing to show the source of ideas and theory in your work?
- applied critical thinking?
- carried out academic research?
At university there are higher expectations of the quality, structure, presentation and content of assignments, essays, and projects.
It may seem a daunting prospect, but at Solent University you'll find a range of expert advice and support on hand to help you develop advanced academic skills and reach your full potential.
