This is a new course for students over 19 years old who wish to go to university to study a degree in a humanities-based subject, social science or teaching, but who are not yet working at the standard required for entry to the aCCess programme. it is designed to help you develop the study skills, knowledge and confidence that are essential for students who plan to progress to a Level 3 aCCess course and beyond.
You will work on personal development strategies such as time management during tutorials and consider how learning actually takes place while exploring your own learning style. During Study Skills, you will develop skills including: how to locate, retrieve and store information efficiently; using various reading techniques; writing summaries; producing bibliographies and referencing work; using basic word processing to edit, organise and integrate information and using a variety of sources to research a topic.
during english classes, you will work on developing your speaking and listening skills by taking part in discussions, interviews and giving short presentations. You will also develop the technical accuracy of your spelling, punctuation and grammar and extend your vocabulary. You will study a variety of texts and produce a range of written assignments showing how they can adapt their style and format for different purposes. You will demonstrate that you can plan, draft, edit, review and redraft your writing.
in maths classes, you will develop your number work to include the following skills: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals; understanding and using fractions; calculating percentages; using ratios and proportions accurately.
in society studies, you will focus on topics which are particularly relevant to the aCCess programme you plan to progress to: understanding equal opportunities; understanding aspects of citizenship; understanding the cognitive development of children; or understanding young people, law and order.
Entry requirements: Students need to have english and maths skills which are currently at Level 1. Students also need to be prepared to study independently outside class time and to work to deadlines. An interview will help to identify whether the course is suitable for their current situation. Diagnostic assessment of key skills will be provided to ensure you are successful in your studies.
