Help your students to transition comfortably into university life, live better, and work better.
Our Surviving University workshops introduce students to the key skills needed to get the most out of their time at university.
The workshop is broken down into two main areas: living better and working better. The living better section covers moving away from home, seizing the day and managing your money. The working better section covers how to pace your work, university motivation and how to take good notes.
