ABSTRACT

In Part 4, we conclude the book by highlighting the key points that connects success and well-being in university studies. The first chapter explains the meaning of engagement and optimism: how they both are needed to persevere in studies and to reach the valuable achievement of graduation and how their emergence in students can be supported by the university community. The second chapter continues by discussing the meaning of love for learning and how this positive state or attitude to studies can become not only an important success factor but also enhance well-being. The last chapter introduces the concept of study success as a two-dimensional phenomenon. On the one hand, success is about the outcomes – passing courses, high grades, and finally graduation – but on the other hand, and as the earlier parts of the book have showed, it is also about the study process.
