Pre-Entry and Transition Support
At GCU we understand that starting university, whilst exciting, can also bring moments of stress or anxiety for many students. To help you manage this transition, we offer a variety of pre-entry programmes and workshops. Attending these will help you prepare for starting university and gain an understanding of what additional support, if any, you may need. Our programmes and workshops also give you an opportunity to meet other new students before you start your course.
