What were the benefits of the PARTNERS Programme for you?

The PARTNERS Programme taught me skills I hadn't had the chance to learn at Sixth Form such as referencing, and how to structure academic writing. When I started university I found I was confident at accessing different services at the university, I knew my way around the campus and I already knew the academic staff.

As my parents didn't go to university, it really took the nervousness out of the first week for me. It also gave me a chance to meet friends who were also doing my course.
