Welcome, you've come to the right place.

This module provides some general advice to support your journey to and through university. By working through a range of resources and activities, you'll be able to connect with the many peoples and places that make up a university, and, most of all, see yourself as one of the most important parts of it! Ultimately, we want you to know that your perspective and your story is what makes a university what it is.

I can do this: In this video, Christine shares her journey to university to introduce the module.

What I will do (and why)

The 'I can do this!' module builds on your experiences, values, and strengths - all the things that make you who you are. In this module, you will complete a series of online activities, watch videos featuring University of Sydney students and alumni, share photos of your journey to university, and familiarise yourself with some of the University's online platforms.
