About this book

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 Phillips 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. Written in a warm and approachable style, they offer clear and practical guidance supported by key research in the field.

Together, Jo and Martin demystify the language of university and offer the very best advice on adjusting to university study, campus life and independent learning. They share clear and easy tasks, structured so that students can work through them sequentially from pre-arrival to the end of the first year and beyond.

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.

Essential reading for students applying to university, current undergraduates in the early stages of their course, their parents and teachers.
