We recognise your success in gaining a HNC or HND qualification and we expect you will be just as successful at university, but sometimes it can take a little time to adjust to your new environment.
We have a range of resources to help prepare you for university life, and fantastic support services on campus should you need assistance once you start your studies:
- The Associate Student Scheme can help prepare you for university life whilst you are still at college by providing you with access to university resources and advice and guidance.
- We offer travel support to those who live outwith Aberdeen City to visit the campus or attend one of our Open Days or Applicant Days.
- We offer a term-long DegreePrep Programme for some of our degree courses, which provide a blend of practical course information sessions and valuable study skills sessions to prepare you for degree-level study. DegreePrep Programmes are also a great opportunity to meet other students who will be joining your course at the same time as you, as well as teaching and support staff.
- You will have access to study support from our specialist Study Support tutors throughout your studies.
- If you meet the university’s wider access criteria (such as residing in a SIMD20 postcode area or being care experienced), you may also be eligible for additional assistance to support your transition to RGU.
