Course Overview

Classes and assignments aim to help you to understand and acclimate to Scottish University culture, giving you a head start before the serious business of studying begins!  Specifically we’ll help you to further develop and refine your academic writing and research skills in a challenging yet supportive study environment.

The programme is assessed but, as an unconditional offer-holder, you can choose whether to do these assessments.

Classes focus on developing the four skills:

  • Writing: Understanding and planning different assignments, using sources, avoiding plagiarism, and improving your accuracy.
  • Reading: Strategies to help you to read academic books, journal articles and online sources faster and more effectively.
  • Listening: Strategies for both formal settings such as lectures, and informal discussions and conversations.
  • Speaking: Giving presentations and taking part in seminars.

Classes are usually in the form of workshops, where you’ll be able to try out the language and ideas presented by your tutors; you’ll also be asked to give presentations, work with other students in groups to complete projects, and to work individually to reflect on your own progress. This will help you to further develop and refine the other skills required for successful study in the UK: critical thinkingindependent learning and academic literacy

In addition, you will also have individual tutorials each week, where you will have the chance to discuss your progress with your own tutor.

Entry Requirement 

You should have met the requirements for the degree you are planning to join, and be in possession of an unconditional offer from Abertay.

Fees

The Cost of the 9-week programme is £ 1100
