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.
