January is a busy month for all students,\u00a0with exams and coursework due it can be hard to stay on top of everything. We’ve come up with some top tips that will help you manage your workload and studies.<\/p>\n

1. Find a study environment that suits you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avoid staying in your bedroom \u2013 this will help you switch off when you get home. There are lots of options around campus, such as Haslegrave, Martin Hall and Stewart Mason. You can even find a list of study spaces and their opening times here<\/a>.\u00a0 You can also access a list of computers and their availability around campus here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Set realistic goals and stick to a routine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doing this during the study period can help you feel less stressed and more motivated to do work. The University provides a number of helpful planning sheets and other documents, which you can personalise\u00a0to use yourself and help keep on top of your work. Advice and planning sheets can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Get some fresh air and enjoy your study breaks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rewarding yourself with a fun break and some fresh air can help you clear your mind and return to your work with a new perspective. On campus, there are lots of places to eat and drink so why not take a walk and grab a coffee on your break? Here<\/a> is a list of places to eat and drink on campus.<\/p>\n

4. Check in with family and friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A study session with friends could help you generate new ideas, and a phone call to parents could help take your mind off things. At the library, you can book a number of various study spaces for you and your friends, ranging from booths, study group rooms and study carrels. You can find out more about booking spaces here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Ask for help.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling with an essay plan or don\u2019t understand something, don\u2019t be afraid to ask your tutors for some help and advice. You can also contact Student Advice and Support Service for free, confidential and impartial advice on anything during your time here. Their contact details can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Do the hardest thing first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Try to tackle the most difficult part of your work at the start of a study session instead of avoiding it.<\/p>\n

7. Have a regular sleeping pattern.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will help you improve your overall sleep quality which will help your memory function and productivity the next day.<\/p>\n

8. Don’t compare yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let yourself worry about how much work other students are doing. Trust in your own abilities and work at your own pace.<\/p>\n
