Academic Writing and Study Skills (AWS1)

Academic Writing and Study Skills

As UC@Hagley, we teach Academic writing and study skills, which includes the compulsory paper (TRNS001) of the University of Canterbury's Certificate in University Preparation (CUP).

If you are wanting to develop skills and confidence in reading and writing for tertiary study our AWS paper may be the right option for you. The course offers an introduction to tertiary study including familiarization with UC learning systems.

The course covers

• reading strategies
• essay planning and writing
• academic evaluation
• citations and referencing

A pass result in Academic writing and study skills (TRNS001) at Hagley can be credited transferred to the University of Canterbury.

Classes are on Tuesdays & Fridays, at Hagley College. We offer two intakes: February to mid-June (preparing for university entrance in Semester 2, 2024) and mid-June to late October (preparing for university entry in Semester 1, 2025).

AWS1 = Semester 1
