Succeed at Leicester
Applying to university is a big step. Starting university, even bigger. That's why we want you to 'Succeed at Leicester'.
Succeed begins before you start with us, and will stay with you while you study with us. Our series of online session aim to answer some of the key questions you have before you arrive at university. Then during your course, you will explore content about support and processes to give you the right information at the right time.

What to do next
Have a look at the sessions below and decide which ones are relevant for you. There are study skills sessions from 11.00m-12.00pm BST, sessions for International Students from 12.00-1.00pm BST and more general information sessions between 4.00-5.00pm BST. More detail on each session can be found in the description.
All the sessions are on Teams. Cameras and microphones will be disabled for participants, but you will be able to type questions in the chat and say hello. The main content for each session is covered in the first 20-30 minutes, leaving plenty of time for questions. If you miss the session or want to watch it back, sessions will be recorded and added to the Succeed at Leicester Blackboard page, or find some previous recordings on the YouTube channel.
