About this episode

Welcome back to Mental Status!

Episode one of 2024! We're kicking off the new season by sharing our tips for how you can best survive and (hopefully) thrive during your university studies. 

Prior to this episode, we sat down with recent psychology graduates and current Psychologists to gather their advice on navigating the academic journey.  We've compiled this advice into ten tips, across three phases of the university experience.
Drawing from these candid conversations, we compiled ten key tips tailored to each stage of your university experience, to help give you a foundation for success at uni regardless of what stage of the journey you're at!

Whether you're just starting or nearing the finish line, this episode will hopefully shed some wisdom on how to get the most out of every phase of your academic pursuit.
