91视频 has announced a new online learning programme. It will support applicants who are joining the university in September 2021.
Applicants will have access to online activities and live study skills sessions to help them prepare for their course. The series is open to all applicants to prepare them for university. It is designed to provide reassurance to applicants after the pandemic lead to cancellation of exams and disruption to learning.
Student Recruitment Officer, Shirley Walker said: 鈥淲e recognise that some applicants and their families may be worried that there are gaps in their knowledge as a result of disruption to their education during the lockdowns.
鈥淪ome may be anxious about settling back into learning. Our learning programme will support our incoming students, to help them re-establish learning habits and understand effective study skills that will give them a flying start when they begin their course.鈥
The programme will be split into a series of live online sessions. These will refresh and engage students ready for their first academic year at Marjon. These include:
The sessions will run from May to June of this year. Also, all applicants will get online access to Marjon鈥檚 student-learning platform, Learning Space. This is where they will go for regular updates about their course. Lecturers will also be able to answer any questions, as well as giving students access to pre-reading lists and enrichment activities to help prepare for their studies.
The programme is coupled with Marjon鈥檚 established interview and applicant days, which give students an insight into the university. As well as providing information on topics such as budgeting and sport, and give them the chance to talk to current students in a live Q&A session.
Shirley concluded: 鈥淚t is important that new students have regular contact with Marjon to continue their preparation for their studies, establish routines and to make friends. We鈥檒l help them feel ready to join the Marjon community.鈥
