ABSTRACT

Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school' Fortunately, university level study is rather different and gives analysts much more intellectual and creative space to spread their wings. Studying and writing at university is very different from what analysts have probably encountered at school or college. In making the transition from school/college to university, then, analysts need to adopt new approaches and techniques in their writing and engage in much more critical thinking. A new battle awaits in the form of the higher intellectual demands associated with advanced study, whether this is as a first-year undergraduate, masters or doctoral student. Do not underestimate the challenges (which all students, not just those with dyslexia) face when 'stepping up' from 'A' levels, Access or International Baccalaureate to the first year of an undergraduate course. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
