What are the different programmes?

Personal Skills Programme aims to help you develop the skills you will need to achieve at University, like money management, essay writing and giving presentations, amongst others.

Employability: Gives you the skills you will need in when finding a job - including interview technique, application forms and how to write a good CV.

Online Modules: As well as our usual sessions, Stride offers online modules. They can be taken on their own, or to enhance the skills you have developed in our sessions. And best of all, you can do them in your own time, and take as long as you like to finish them.

Where and when are the Stride sessions?

Stride sessions take place on all three campuses, on various days and at various times. You can attend any of the sessions, regardless of which campus you are studying at, which means there should be one at the right time, in the right place for you. Back to top
