Student survival
Develop independent learning skills. To succeed at university, it will help if you’re well organised and know how to work independently. Study skills workshops are offered by SLSS – so take advantage of these.
Motivation and focus will help to keep you on track. Know why you’re at university, and understand your long-term goals, both career and personal.
Ask for help. There are many people employed here to help you succeed, including your lecturers and tutors. Learning to ask when you’re not sure will help you both academically and when seeking information of a more personal nature, eg. financial advice or career counselling. Learn about and take advantage of the services the University provides.
