Our mission is to deliver an exciting student transition platform to 16-25 year olds in the period as they leave school,  and leading up to and during their first year in further and higher education which is relevant, well designed, evidence-led and student-reviewed.

Testimonials

"Uni is very different to school in the sense that you won't have your lecturer checking up on you for homework/deadlines."

Testimonials

"University isn't half as scary as you think it might be. It's great fun, you'll make friends for life, and as long as you work hard (after first year, of course), you'll come out with a great degree!."

Graduate, University of St Andrews
Testimonials

"Join as many societies as you can so you have a few circles of friends because everyone is desperate to make friends in the first few weeks but after a few months you might find you have nothing in common with flatmates."
