Year 14 students starting a higher education course in September or going into employment –

QUB offer a free online course called the Transition Skills Programme.

The programme is aimed at year 13 and 14 pupils. The content is of relevance to those due to begin a degree programme and the transferrable skills are also of value to those choosing to enter the working environment.

There are four components: Academic Expectations, Understanding Information Sources, Searching, and Plagiarism and Referencing. Taking about 30 minutes to an hour, a quiz follows each element and the entire programme can be taken module by module as and when time permits.

The course is free to anyone, does not require a login and at the end, a certificate is granted which participants can print.
