Are you #NCLReady?

With many students having ended their school studies in an impromptu fashion, we know many of you will be looking for ways to prepare for university.

We will be sending out Reading Lists for all our modules in the Autumn once we’ve updated our teaching to take the latest research into account. So for now we’re preparing more general material to support you in your preparations for university. Here is what we have in store…

1. We’re sending out emails to all our Offer Holders with summer reading suggestions and tasks. These will be written by academics who hope to welcome you in the Autumn, and will be tailored to the programmes you’ve applied to.

2. We’re using #NCLReady on Twitter to signpost you to further free resources, interesting articles and more.

3. We’re planning some more blog posts – just like this one, but with even more content.

We’d love to hear how you find the tasks and resources so do let us know! Follow the blog. Follow our social media channels. Keep an eye on your emails. But most of all, keep safe and enjoy your summer.
