College Ready Activities

Preparing You for College

We know that it can be daunting when you move from school to college so to make sure you feel prepared for joining us after the summer, each college department has created an activity sheet for you to look at in your own time, giving you an overview of the course. There are interactive tasks to complete and even links to videos to get you used to the type of classwork you’ll be doing once you join us.

July

Take your time to complete your College Ready activities set by your department. If you haven't applied or want to change your course, now is a great time to do so.

August

We'll send you a letter inviting you in to enrol with us. This is when you'll get your college ID and any information on your course i.e. specific clothing needed.

September

The first week of September is your induction to college life, giving you the opportunity as a new student to explore the campus and get comfortable in your surroundings before all students return. During this week you'll meet your tutors, classmates and get a taste of what your course has to offer.

 Below you’ll find all of our college departments and, within each tab, is a specific area relevant to you. Here you can find out more about our courses and activities to do to prepare you for September.
