UK Resilience Programme
Example study tour
In conjunction with AQR International, StudyLink has created a unique programme that is designed to help your university to improve retention rates of your first-year students. With a focus on building mental toughness and resilience, these factors are vital in giving your students the skills they need to succeed.
From the start of their university career, your students must demonstrate a positive approach to their studies and understand their own strengths, along with key areas identified for their personal growth and development.
The unique learning environment afforded by our activity centres allows your students to develop their teamwork and communication skills. Additionally, challenging themselves mentally and physically allows them to build on their self-confidence and resilience, leading to well-rounded and self-aware individuals.
Our unique course:
- Challenges participant in a new and unfamiliar environment
- Encourages positive thinking and how to recognise and manage risk
- Requires teamwork and builds strong relationships and trust
- Celebrates success and achievement
StudyLink understands that quantifiable evidence of impact on development is important. At the heart of our programme is the assessment of ‘mental toughness’ using the MTQ Plus psychometric questionnaire.
Working in partnership with AQR International to deliver the mental toughness assessment MTQ Plus. AQR International is a highly innovative test publisher working with psychologists to design tests and measures with specific attention paid to the education sector.
