Em, maybe look into whether your uni of choice offers a pathway/preparation type course before you commit to an actual degree. I did my BEd Primary degree through UNE Armidale and they do a foundation pathways course, which is entirely free, and it teaches you how to write academic essays and prepares you for the workload that you can expect while doing your degree. It's only 12 months part time (two subjects over two study periods) and you can also incorporate 2 units from your chosen degree that you can get advanced standing on when you start the actual degree. It was the best thing I ever did, otherwise I would have been smashed on the first assignment I handed in! So that might be an option for you to look into if you're not sure how you will go. And you don't have to be arty or crafty either.
