School support and peer groups may change, and there is often a greater responsibility for making decisions such as choosing a course to study, selecting the right educational institution, how to organize time effectively, managing study/work/social lives, coping with a significantly different learning environment and generally making the transition from school to further education.The aim of this seminar therefore, is to inculcate into these students how to have the ability to develop social networks, academic skills and self-confidencethat we believe will ease their transition into university life. “
