Publisher's Synopsis
Over the years, the university experience has changed for young people; higher education study is expensive, graduate employment isn't guaranteed in an age of fast evolving technology, and the stakes feel high.In The Backpacker's Guide to University, Dr Jo Philips and Martin Griffin draw on their collective 45 years' experience teaching undergraduates and sixth formers to bring students the ultimate guide to making the most of their time in further education. Together, they demystify the language of university and share the very best guidance on adjusting to university study, campus life and independent learning.This book urges students to embrace the 'backpacker approach', a transformative mindset that will empower them to immerse themselves in the spirit of adventure and seize every opportunity that university life has to offer.
