Abstract

As part of a larger project investigating the transition from secondary to tertiary mathematics educa-tion in Sweden, interviews with 60 engineering students at the end of their first year of study sug-gest that shifts during the transition from individualised to collective study approaches and from de-pendent to apprenticed student positions, as well as student life, contribute to students’ views on university studies as a generally highly valuable experience.
