What Uni course are you studying? (Helps to understand your mathematical ability)

Use your local library and indeed your Uni library. Just like a physical fitness program use your libraries to build up knowledge in what are stocks, bonds and other investment vehicles.

Use the Internet. I've seen self learning modules produced by stock exchanges ie: http://www.asx.com.au/resources/shares-courses.htm

Once you understand the vehicle then understand the company and what it produces or services. Easiest way is to invest in things that you use on a day to day basis that you like. If you buy it in a supermarket and you don't like it then don't buy it. Essentially buy shares that would make up your personal preferred CPI. This does require you to do the shopping, also you can look at getting up early and going to farmers markets and buying fresh bulk produce. Just make sure you don't waste it.

Read up about great investors and entrepreneurs particle focus on how they got started.

Start with Warren Buffet for instance.
