Entering university study as a mature-aged student is a life-changing event. Mature-age students face many challenges as they try to balance study commitments with the demands of work and family.

Stepping Stones: A guide for mature-aged students at university acknowledges the very personal journeys that mature-aged students take when they embark on university study. This book goes beyond the 'how to' of university life to give a deeper understanding of the experiences that lie ahead.

It provides prospective mature-aged students with strategies and skills for a successful learning experience and for managing life with study.
