Andy Hunt

I'm a professor at the University of York, UK, specialising in computing, music technology, and time & project management. I've also led research into new electronic musical instruments and sonification (turning data into sound so you can hear and understand it). In my spare time I love walking, programming (especially iOS music apps and games), writing music for the media (film, tv, computer games), but usually not at the same time.

My latest book "Surviving and Thriving at University" is aimed at ALL students. In this 400-page guide to studying and succeeding in higher education, I've brought together all my experience of teaching and helping students do their very best at uni. This book is for people thinking about starting uni, those who've just started, those who are returning to study or repeating work, and for anyone wanting to help or support students through this time. It's written in a fun and engaging style and is packed with guidance, advice, checklists, challenges, and a first-aid kit for typical problems.
