Text: Between the Lines: What do you need to thrive at uni? Background: abstract cityscape line and shape with perspective


Why should I do this course?

There are factors that can make university great or ... a bit rubbish. The kind of information that falls 'between the lines' of a prospectus. This course aims to get you that information, with the help of students living it right now. 

Who is this for? 

This is for you if you are planning to go to university, and especially if you're from a low-income, less advantaged or minority group.

How long does it take?

It should take about an hour, although you can take longer if you like. 

Does it affect my uni applications?

No - it's totally separate from UCAS and uni admissions and isn't linked with any future applications. It's not to assess you - just give you information and insight so your uni experience is a great one.
