What does it mean to be university-ready, why is it so important and what can you be doing between now and starting university?

This session is about ensuring you are in a good place mentally and that you feel as prepared as possible for your new and exciting experience at university, whilst ensuring any support you need is in place.​

We will work our way through the months of Year 13, beginning with application and covering important steps you can take to get ready for university. In this student-centred event, we will hear the undergraduate student perspective interspersed with top tips from academic, wellbeing and disability professionals at Warwick and Southampton.

The session will also myth-bust misconceptions around applying, preparing for university, and what to expect when you get there, including common concerns about making friends and the social environment, relationships with tutors, and support for mental health and physical conditions.

Be sure to join this essential overview of the important year ahead of you. Hearing the student, academic, wellbeing, and disability support perspectives will give you confidence to plan your own preparation. This friendly and reassuring session will include time to answer your questions, too.

Our speakers include:​

• Nerys Sharp – Student Wellbeing Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Manager – University of Southampton ​
• Gemma Penney – Team Leader – Specialist Practitioners – Student Support – University of Southampton​
• Dr Mark Pulsford – Faculty Senior Tutor and the Convenor of Warwick’s Disabled Student Champions Network – University of Warwick ​
• George Morrell – Deputy Director of Disability Services – University of Warwick​
• Ruby Deakin – Current Student and Students’ Union Disabled Student’s Officer – University of Warwick
