University Ready - guide for teachers and staff

What is University Ready?

University Ready is a website to help your students get started with higher education. The site is supported by Welsh Government and is a collection of resources from all universities in Wales to help your students work out if university is right for them and to navigate their next steps. 

How can students access it?

The site is available to anyone via these links:

• www.openlearn.com/university-ready
• www.openlearn.com/barod-ar-gyfer-prifysgol

Do my students need a log in?

No log in is required to access the resources. Students can dip in and out when they need help and advice. Students may benefit from creating a free OpenLearn account where they can access more features and track their progress on courses, but this is not mandatory to access the resources.

The site has resources supporting students through the different stages of this big life change - from guiding them through the application process, through to adapting to student life and higher education study skills. Students can dip in for support around these themes:

• Applying to university
• Student life
• Money advice
• Study skills
• Wellbeing and mental health
• Additional support
• Studying in Welsh

They can also find resources about areas of study.
