Successful Transitions - Free resources for students and parents about the transition to university

13/07/2026

Successful Transitions is a support resource specifically designed to help students and their parents navigate the move to university.  Students often arrive at university underprepared, not academically, but emotionally and practically, and parents often struggle just as much with the transition as their children do.

We’ve created free resources for students and parents which we believe will enable them to focus their conversations and preparation for this important upcoming life transition, these include: 

  • A Free University Readiness Quiz for students, which gives them a personalised preparedness score and is followed by a free 10-day email series with practical, manageable steps to help start their preparation. There's a parallel quiz and email series for parents too.
  • A Webinar for Parents: Are You Ready for Your Child’s Next Chapter, And Yours Too? This webinar is for parents on Tuesday 21st July at 6pm navigating one of the most emotionally complex transitions family life brings and who want to do it well. For their child, and for themselves.

Students can register for the quiz at: https://www.successfultransitions.co.uk/students 

 Parents can register for the webinar and/or quiz at: www.successfultransitions.co.uk/parents
