  ?For those attending university for the first time, the demands made on them academically and socially can seem daunting. Studying at University equips you with strategies for making the most out of the experience from the moment you arrive until after you leave. Written with fresh insight, the book addresses key issues such as:
  • adjusting to life at university
  • making presentations
  • working in small groups
  • library and computer resources
  • making the most from lectures and seminars
  • basic numeracy and statistics.

Studying at University also presents you with new ways of learning. Discover ways of developing memory techniques as an aid for not just exams, but so you can reap the best rewards from the subject matter in hand. Ways of coping with exam and test anxieties are addressed, and a final section looks at preparing for job interviews after university life.

Packed with illustrative material and practical exercises, Studying at University enables you to perform at your very best academically.


SAGE Study Skills are essential study guides for students of all levels. From how to write great essays and succeeding at university, to writing your undergraduate dissertation and doing postgraduate research, SAGE Study Skills help you get the best from your time at university.

An astute compilation of the university experience, made easily accessible to the reader, and lightened by the ability of a good storyteller. Within the book are tools to maximise and manage one's learning opportunities both in terms of objective skills and subjective psychological experiences, e.g., stress and anxiety. This is a book that has the potential to be useful throughout one's studies and to transform the university experience.
