What if studying felt more effective?

Studying in University explores how learning works and introduces practical strategies you can use right away in your courses. Drawing on research in learning science and academic success, this workshop will help you build habits that support long-term learning rather than short-term memorization. 

Attend if you want to: 

• Prepare for tests and exams with greater confidence.
• Learn evidence-based memory and learning strategies that improve retention.
• Use active studying techniques instead of passive review.
• Develop realistic and sustainable study habits.
• Stay motivated throughout the term, even when coursework feels overwhelming.
