In the first part of this workshop, we will share practical strategies that can support you with your transition from learning at school to learning at Imperial, based on our recent Learning Well research project. Drawing on focus group data that explored the lived experiences of 112 Imperial undergraduate students, we will highlight different factors that can influence how you ‘learn well’ and suggest evidence-informed ways to navigate these effectively. In the second half of the workshop, there will be opportunities to discuss and explore these ideas with Bridges peer guides.
This event is part of the Bridges Programme.
The Bridges Programme is designed to support undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds and identities within the Faculty of Natural Sciences in their transition from school into University and strengthen the networks of students and staff across all years. Our goal is to ensure that all students feel a strong sense of belonging and have the resources they need to thrive both academically and socially during their time at Imperial.
Peer guides are available to share their experiences and insights to help you navigate various aspects of university life, such as maintaining a work/life balance, applying to internships, and helping acclimatize to university life.
There are also Bridges events and workshops throughout the academic year, which are designed to support you in enhancing your academic skills, build your networks and connect with other students from similar backgrounds.
