This course also supports students to develop the communicative competencies required to actively participate in higher education. The course aims to prepare students for transition from a school to a university environment. This course contains a mandatory residential school.

Synopsis

Learning in this course will focus on participation in practical, authentic activities relevant to beginning university study. This course contains a mandatory residential school.
