I am worried I am not good enough for this degree

You were offered this place because you met the requirements. The doubt is common, and it is not evidence.

If this is weighing on you heavily

Talking to a person helps more than any plan we can produce. These lines are free, confidential and answered by trained people.

Your campus also has a counselling service, and it is free to students.

What we can help with

  • The published entry requirements you have already met
  • What academic support exists to ask about in week one
  • Concrete preparation for the one subject you are most worried about

What we will not decide for you

Whether you will find it hard. We cannot predict that, and neither can anyone who has not taught you.

Your next step

Name the one foundation subject you are most worried about, and find one resource for it before week one.

Who to actually ask

  • Your faculty's academic advisor
  • Campus counselling services
  • Peer study groups in your programme

A route that stays open

Ask about academic support in week one, not week ten. Every university has it and almost nobody asks early.
