Description
This session is for new international students to help them to understand what is expected of them at UWE Bristol.
Students will see how learning and teaching at a British university can be very different to other countries. The session will provide information on the different types of classes such as lectures and seminars, the teacher-student relationship and assessments.
You will also be shown further study skills support available at UWE Bristol.
By the end of the session, you will feel more confident about:
- the different types of classes you may experience at UWE Bristol
- the teacher-student relationship
- assessments
Find further information, including how to join an online session on the Study Skills Sharepoint site (UWE login required).
