Produktbeschreibung

- Is Uni right for you - and which subject and Uni would suit you best?

You2Uni is the ideal book for those thinking about going to university after school or college. Through illustrations of student life and practical activities and discussion points, You2Uni helps you to make informed decisions about what is right for you, improve your academic skills, and develop skills for independent everyday life.
