This volume offers a guided pathway to approaching university study in a structured way, addressing all the key aspects involved: cognitive, strategic, emotional and motivational.

The programme is organised into 10 modules with practical activities suitable for individual or group settings: motivation, time management, note-taking, text comprehension, processing, memory, revision, exam preparation, emotions and resilience, as well as studying STEAM subjects. Particular attention is given to students with Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) and Special Educational Needs, offering tools that can be personalised and adapted.

The book is completed by support materials, assessment tools and downloadable online resources: worksheets, in-depth materials and practical guides, useful both during the programme and for independent study at home.
