The transition to higher education is a major challenge
Do you know the success rate for first-year students in higher education? The rate is around 40%, which means that just under one in two students passes their first year straight away. For the others, it is often necessary to repeat the first year or change direction.
Note that this success rate varies greatly depending on the type of higher education and the different study programmes. That's why it's important to be familiar with the particularities of the studies you're considering, so that you know how best to prepare yourself; you can find out more by attending SIEP fairs or open days at the establishments.
Your own perception of success and the goals you set for yourself are also determining factors in your success.
So there are many factors to take into account if you are to rise to the new challenge that awaits you! In this section, we'd like to take a look at the difficulties that lie at the heart of the transition from secondary to higher education, the players involved and the key stages of this transition. The aim is to give you a better understanding of the context in which you are evolving, so that you have all the cards in your hand to make this stage a success!
