What students have said about Headstart in the past:

“My experience with Headstart has been immensely helpful and enriching, with support and useful tutorials. I feel more confident about starting university now.”

“All the topics taught were really useful and the speakers were very good at getting their information across and making me feel at ease. Having the basics of how to do academic reading and writing is a real lifesaver, and I really love that they gave us other resources and links so that if we’re struggling throughout university we know how to get help.”

“It was very useful all round with lots of advice and tips. It is also nice to get to know the university site prior to starting. I feel more at home which has taken away a lot of the nerves.”

“I liked the relaxed atmosphere and the information given. The chance to attend different workshops over the few days that were relevant to me. Lovely, friendly tutors too. “

“Headstart has provided me with an insight into the support and sources that I can access at university.”
