'If plan A didn't work the alphabet has 25 more letters!'

At Birkbeck, Unviversity of London we appreciate that education isn't linear, and some of the biggest barriers to accessing university is confidence, especially around academic study skills. Things like note-taking, academic reading and critical analysis, to name a few.
