    As part of the Uni Myths Busted campaign, we have developed a series of five lesson plans, with a slide deck, information sheets and visual aids to support your discussions with students.

    You can follow along with the campaign, and deliver one lesson a week starting from 4 November, or you can mix and match the resources and use them whenever you choose. Our aim is to help you tackle some of the anxieties your students may be feeling head on.
