Why is it important?
The scoping review aims to chart the existing research on the mental health outcomes and experiences of students and graduates during the university-to-work transition. The review has three objectives: (1) to examine the methodological features of the studies, (2) to identify the findings about graduates’ and students’ mental health during university-to-work transitions from the examined studies and (3) to investigate the theories used to conceptualise mental health and transitions.
