Starting university is an exciting time, as it marks the beginning of a new chapter in your life. To help you get started, we have put together a "Roadmap to the start of your studies" with important points to think about at the beginning. This list serves as a suggestion and can be customised to your individual needs.
If you have any questions, the Central Student Advisory Service will be happy to help.
