Pre-University Programme Trinity Term 2021

Preparation for University Programme For the rest of the Trinity Term, university preparation tasks will be set for you based on the courses that you have applied to. These have been designed by departments to help prepare you for the next stage in your education and will help you to start on the front foot when your courses begin.

If you are not opting to study at university, or are planning to study a subject not on this list, please contact Mr Kiddell who will direct you to the work that will best support the next stage of your education. Please note that work aimed to support those taking apprenticeships or entering straight into the workplace has also been included.

If you are still uncertain about your choice of subject and were thinking of changing over the summer through clearing, this is an opportunity to look at the work in other areas and to help confirm your choices. In this case, please attempt the work in all subjects that you were considering.

How will the programme work?

The programme will feature a mix of independent study, teacher-led sessions and individual support.

In all subjects, a range of tasks to prepare for university study have been posted on Firefly. In each subject, there will also be at least two directed lessons each week where teachers will run sessions to support you through this work. The timings of these lessons will be made clear on the Firefly pages for each subject. Please also be aware that although formal lessons will no longer be taking place, your current teachers will continue to be available to you, during the normal lesson times, for any support that you need if you are studying a related subject area.

How do I sign up to take a subject?

If you are intending to begin the University preparation work in a subject, please make sure you email the named contact below, so they are aware and they will then add you to their directed sessions.
