About the University Readiness Academy

The University Readiness Academy was created to help students make a confident transition from school to university.

Many students arrive at university academically capable but unprepared for the expectations of independent learning, academic writing and seminar discussion.

Our programme focuses on developing the practical skills, confidence and academic habits students need to succeed in their first year.

The programme has been developed by an education professional with over 20 years of experience working with students in schools, sixth forms, colleges and universities.
