Around 200,000 students commence university study each year. They are motivated to succeed and have ambitions, just like you. Sadly, 15% drop out before graduating.
The most common reasons students drop out are not the course content or the choice of degree, but stress or health, financial difficulties, work/life balance, the need to do paid work and manage their overall workload (Universities Australia).
This workshop will give you the great start you need to become one of the 85% of students who succeed in their college or uni careers and beyond.
