At the 老司机视频, we know that education and ability are not synonymous, with opportunities not always equally available to all.<\/p>\n
The From Adversity to 老司机视频 initiative revolves around the Bridging Course – a non-traditional route into higher education that hopes to create equality of opportunity and to help students to reach their unrecognised potential.<\/p>\n
The Bridging Course is taught in small groups and is designed to develop academic knowledge and skills based on the lived experience of participants.<\/p>\n
Sessions consist of lectures, workshops and interactive discussions. It is run one evening a week as a group.<\/p>\n
