Benefits of PASS

Studies show that when students attend PASS they are more likely to gain a better grade than if they didn't attend. This particularly applies when students attend PASS regularly throughout the teaching session.

PASS can help you to develop learning strategies that can be applied to other subjects throughout your university experience. PASS also offers the opportunity to make friends and to feel more confident with the unit content.


Unit results - the more PASS the better!

Regular PASS attendees achieve on average 10-15 grade points higher than their non-attending peers. The more PASS sessions you attend, the greater the impact on your results. Achieve more together with PASS!
