Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
A guiding resource and supportive companion, this book is designed for mature individuals intending to undertake an undergraduate degree.
Comprehensively yet succinctly covering all of the knowledge and skills expected when studying at university, it recognises that mature students face a variety of obstacles that have to be carefully circumnavigated and that often, the support for doing this is difficult to find in one place. With a wealth of practical strategies for developing a range of key study skills, whilst, at the same time, addressing the difficulties people face in preparing for the numerous changes that university study can bring, this key text highlights to the reader the significance of individual strengths obtained from life experiences, and demonstrates their importance and utility in learning as a mature student.
Packed full of activities to support development and case studies to exemplify a range of situations, this is a must-read for anyone looking to undertake an undergraduate degree as a mature student.
This book is a valuable text, providing helpful insights into areas that need to be considered by those entering higher education as mature students. The book is accessibly written and covers both practical and academic issues to support mature students prior to, during, and at the end of their higher education study. As well as discussing some common concerns mature students may have prior to entering study, the book also provides practical guidance and suggests techniques to support the development of study skills, academic writing and criticality, all of which are essential for students to succeed in higher education.
- Carol Robinson, Professor of Children's Rights and Co-director of Postgraduate Research, Institute of Education, University of Strathclyde.
