Preparing for & starting your studies

Higher education institutions frequently hold events for first-semester students to help prepare them for their studies. Orientation weeks at the beginning of the semester help students get their bearings, and preparatory courses have also proven to be a useful support for new students. Pre-study work placements, on the other hand, are not simply useful, but sometimes are actually a prerequisite for admission.

Preparatory courses

Preparatory courses are often voluntary and help you brush up on knowledge learnt at school. In some cases, pre-study work placements are mandatory for admission to a course.
