The Backpacker's Guide to University
About this episode
Silje Howes interviews Dr Jo Phillips and Martin Griffin about their book aimed at helping students transition to university life.
A level results just shown up? Well, your timing is excellent - Dr Jo Phillips and Martin Griffin have just written a book that's been described as " Highly recommended reading for Year 13s and a thoughtful, confidence-boosting gift for friends and family members about to start university." Together, they have a collective 45 years' experience teaching sixth formers and undergraduates and have supported students through applications, the writing of personal statements, open days and the leap into university life. With a warm and informal tone, the book is invaluable and Silje and John are here to take a deep dive into the wisdom both behind and within it. It's published by Crown House Publishing and you can find out more here.
