Resilience at University

This section of the guide is intricately connected to self-efficacy and self-regulation, as motivation and perseverance play a crucial role throughout the learning process. Developing these qualities will enhance your academic resilience.

A higher level of resilience can help you link challenges to your success in overcoming them. Often, this ability is underpinned by a strong internal locus of control, which drives you to either persevere or exert additional effort when faced with obstacles (Arsini, Ahman and Rusmana, 2023). This internal sense of control, combined with a growth mindset, is essential for building resilience and achieving long-term success.
