Giving students a head start  
 

The live survival guide to University.

 

UniSmart is a breakthrough presentation that supports first year tertiary students through transition.

First year students need to take on so much new information, some academic, some of a more personal nature.

With it's high energy blast of street theatre tactics, straight talking, music, comedy and visuals, UniSmart gives students the information they need to get through the first year and beyond. Furthermore, the students feel empowered to seek help- if and when they need it. 

For many students struggling with a major life change, it's a lifesaver. 

 

UniSmart is for all new residential, non residential and International students.

        Some topics covered:

  • Diversity
  • Isolation and shyness
  • Making friends
  • Study habits
  • Culture shock
  • Sex, drugs and very loud music
  • Drink spiking
  • Staying safe

"Gives students confidence, motivation and awareness"

"Quite apart from being the most entertaining and dynamic presentation I have seen,   UniSmart manages to successfully alert new students to affect the choices they have made seriously and from day one. Ultimately this supports independent learning and is an ideal foundation for building subsequent transition activity" 

 Anna Damer, Student Advisory, University of Strathclyde,Glasgow, U.K.

 

  "UniSmart was great, it was the  only lecture I've had this week that I understood. All the other lectures have gone in one ear and out the other!!!

Excellent and impressive. Far better than anything we could have engineered ourselves"
