Welcome to MiunSkills!
MiunSkills is an introductory course to university studies for you who are a new student, or for you who have studied for a while, but who feel that you want to update your knowledge in order to be able to carry through with your studies in the best way.
In MiunSkills, you are introduced to how the university and university studies work and learn about the expectations there are of you as a student. The university places great demands on you as an individual to take responsibility for your own studies, but there is also a lot of support to be had. The MiunSkills course content is based on student wishes. These are the things that the students who came before you have said that they wished they had found out at the beginning of their studies.
MiunSkills is also available in Moodle.
