Why not get ahead on preparing for your new academic journey with us and attend the 'Getting Started with Studying at University' workshop co-delivered by CAW and the Library. This workshop is designed to support a first-time introduction to, or anyone in need of a reminder of, studying at university level. There are expectations of two core academic practices: reading and writing. This workshop will help you to understand how independent, critical thinking fits into your course and your assignments. This workshop is only available during the first few weeks of enrolment. Book now at: https://libcal.coventry.ac.uk/calendar/caw
