Transition: Preparing to study at Bath
Part of the Transition Toolkit - more information about how to develop your skills ready for studying at Bath
Develop your academic skills
Use the Academic Skills Self-Assessment Tool to reflect on your academic skills, consider what you feel confident about, and identify where you might like to further develop your academic skills.
You’ll begin by completing a diagnostic questionnaire to measure your confidence. Following this you’ll be directed to resources you can use to learn more about academic skills and boost your confidence ready for starting at university. If you've already completed the questions, you can access the resources directly.
