Favourite books
University is a place where students develop into critical and independent people, who find their place in our society. This includes the factual knowledge and skills you gain in your studies, but reading and writing fiction also contributes to your development. You explore different times, look at the world from another perspective, stimulate your imagination and improve your vocabulary.
