Thinking about your wellbeing is important for making the most of your time at university and as you take the next steps in your career journey. As you move onto university, you’ll receive information on your university’s wellbeing services – so if you ever feel like you need support during your studies, they will be able to help.
You can also find some resources here on Pathways Extra – visit our wellbeing page to read more and to access links to some external support services. You’ll find a link to our National Geographic Learning Anthology on International Student Wellbeing there, too – a collection of work created by Kaplan International Pathways’ students and alumni.
