Integrated Bridging Program-Research

Most Program 1 students have now completed their program with us, and many have already submitted their CCSP component. This is the first group to submit online so it will be interesting to get feedback on how it all goes.

Meanwhile recent arrivals have settled into our mid-year program after sorting out housing, child care, schooling (where relevant), as well as getting a start on their HDR programs. So, of course life is busy and mid-winter is testing everyone but most seem pleased with having the opportunity to develop extended collegiate relationships as well as enhanced communication skills. We look forward to getting to know everyone more in the coming months.
