Study Tips: To Land You Career Ready!
Studying takes stamina and perseverance. Routine is crucial for success. Here are some quick tips to help you make the best of your study experience:
Allocate enough study hours
Each subject needs around 10 hours of study per week (sometimes more).
Doing 3 subjects? That’s about 30 hours per week to plan for.
Use the 10 hours to:
Complete assignments
Revise for the upcoming week
Learning for exams from week 1
use tools such as ANKI to solidify your learning.
Work through lectures
Complete readings
Complete passion projects related to your subject areas.
Immerse yourself in the university experience
Join clubs or sporting clubs and become apart of their committees. You will learn skills that will take you far, challenge you and help you move into the workplace.
Prioritise your physical and mental health
Aim for at least 180 minutes of intentional exercise each week (walking, running, sports).
Get your heart rate up to manage stress and boost brain health.
Practise mindfulness
Just 10 minutes a day can significantly support your mental health.
Try Headspace or Apple Fitness+ for guided mindfulness.
Protect your sleep
Aim for 8 hours of sleep each night.
Lock this into your calendar as part of your well-being plan.
Use time blocking
Structure your week to balance study, work, wellness, and social life.
Take time each week to review your calendar and prioritise what matters.
Remember: Studying is challenging, but with structure and self-care, you can thrive.
