Student feedback

My foundation year experience was instrumental in my academic journey. It eased my transition from secondary school to university studies. The academic skills modules played a crucial role in building my self-confidence. I was able to foster good habits like study skills, time management techniques, and effective learning strategies that I went on to apply in my degree course.
