Learn with US Transition lecture package
A package of resources for students in Years 12 and 13 who wish to familiarise themselves with styles of Higher Education teaching and learning
The Learn with US transition programme presents a range of academic skills resources that will assist the transition to university and help develop academic skills needed to be a successful student in lectures, seminars, research, essay writing and examinations.
Below are a range of resources, EPQ-specific and more generic. There are links to our virtual EPQ support series on YouTube, as well as sections dedicated to addressing the various elements of the EPQ. In addition, during the pandemic, our team have devised a package of lecture materials that students can access. The package contains taster lectures, seminar-style questions, example notes and reading lists to provide an example of the types of teaching and learning they will come to expect within Higher Education.
Virtual EPQ support series
A series of 8 EPQ videos to complement the taught skills element of the project.
The sections below provide information and links to relevant resources that support the development of research projects like the EPQ.
In addition, we also run a highly successful online course ' developing your research project ' hosted on FutureLearn.
