hey guys!

I know theres not much to study for during these holidays for my first year at uni next year,
but I'm actually interested in biology, psychology and philosophy and wondering if there are any books you would recommend that I could read over these holidays that are related to university level?

I've gotten quite bored after a week or so of holidays and want to get back into some light studying/reading

thanks alot guys! appreciate it alot! :)

1. Go to the university handbook website.
2. Search for a subject that matches any predilections you may have.
3. Read the information pertaining to the topics covered and the textbook recommendations.
4. Do some independent research.

5. Skip points 1 through 4 and go to Wikipedia instead. There's plenty to read there.

Thanks for your reply!
I checked the hand book but couldn't find any information about which textbooks each course refers to
Is there a booklist or something ?

Thanks !

I think you can just pick up any first year level textbook and read the relevant parts. For bio, you could start with "Biology, An Australian Focus" which is the TB they use at melb uni.
