Wood, L. and Breyer, Y. (eds) (2017) Success in Higher Education: Transitions to, within and from University

Abstract

How do students in Mumbai choose their academic focus? What pressures are faced by academic staff in Montevideo? How is mathematics being made more accessible in Greenwich? This book provides insights into a diverse range of international case studies focused on promoting student success.

In their introductory chapter, editors Leigh Wood and Yvonne Breyer from Macquarie University (Australia) set out their aim, to:

“examine success in higher education and the role of successful transitions by campus students from Australia and around the globe.” (p.2)
