Description

This illustrated pocket book offers advice and practical tips for students to help build their resourcefulness at university. It acknowledges the huge, emotional shift that occurs when a student goes to university, as well as offering advice and strategies to deal with situations that may be academically and/or personally challenging.

The book outlines some of the reasons why it is particularly difficult for 18-24-year-olds to deal with the upheaval of starting university, but goes on to offer evidence-based approaches to help manage the transition. With insightful material from students who describe the unique pressures they experienced at university - and how they dealt with them - this is a very practical book in which readers will learn ways to develop life strategies and grow as a result of their experiences.

This easy-to-read guide will ensure that readers have all the tools they need to build on their resourcefulness, equipping them for life at university and beyond.
