So, after days, weeks and years working towards it, you are finally commencing university

Starting uni is a life change that is both exciting and challenging. Over the next 12 months (and each year after) you'll be faced with a range of new experiences, both social and academic.

You'll learn new things and make new friends, become more flexible and critical in your thinking, and be more independent in your study. This can all seem overwhelming at times, but the good thing to know is that the vast majority of students make this transition successfully.

This is the UNSW Learning Centre's 'First Steps' website, a resource designed to help you make a successful transition to university. Here you'll find information about most aspects of university life as a first year undergraduate.

School leavers can discover the differences between school and uni study.

We also have resources and advice for Non-school leavers (traditionally referred to as mature age students). Returning to study has some special challenges, so to find helpful tips, look for this icon NSL
