Life Skills Summer School 2024
About
Our summer school is designed to help new students who have autistic spectrum conditions, are neurodivergent or have social anxiety to explore the skills they may need to live independently at university and when sharing accommodation. We want to alleviate some anxieties you might have about starting university and help you settle in.Continuing students as well as new students are welcome to register for this event.
If you're not sure whether the summer school is for you and would like to have a chat before booking a place, please email dawn.loizou@bcu.ac.uk.
