What is university study like?
University study may be quite different from the teaching and learning you have experienced before. You are given a lot of autonomy, and have exciting opportunities to pursue your own lines of enquiry, especially at the advanced levels of your degree study.
Undergraduate programmes are the first qualifications at tertiary level, and offer the fundamentals of your chosen discipline. An undergraduate degree can lead directly to a career, or to further study in our wide range of graduate and postgraduate programmes.
Pathways to University provides information about foundation programmes and preparation courses if you need to gain an entry qualification or skills and confidence before starting to study at university.
