GRAD — Your guide to university success

GRAD is brought to you by Ruda Landman,  StudyTrust and Capitec Bank in partnership with Van Schaik Publishers.

GRAD is a 72 page must-read guide for students adjusting to the dramatic transition from school to independent life at a university. Most students are not prepared for the new challenges and GRAD is designed to help students understand the many changes and adjust to the new demands and challenges they face. Over 800 000 printed copies have been distributed to South African students thanks to the generous sponsorship of Capitec Bank and this essential guide is now available as a download – absolutely free of charge.
