CONNECT: In-house induction that allows Architectural students to develop skills, engage with problem-based learning, benefit from collaborative scholarship and enjoy an interactive learning experience

Induction to college life is part of a longer process of transition from second to third level education that extends beyond the first weeks. 

Induction to college life is part of a longer process of transition from second to third level education that extends beyond the first weeks. 

The aim of this project is to enrich the first-year experience by acknowledging the challenges associated with the transition, supporting them by providing information and assistance and engaging with them to develop solutions to potential hurdles. 

Practical but cursory inductions to university life are often inadequate and do not prepare the student for the challenges ahead. There is no time to focus on the interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, that are necessary to succeed.
