Study Skills
Improving study skills can revolutionise the learning process. Students often focus on what they are required to learn, instead of considering how best to approach course content. Yet understanding how to learn is essential, especially in the context of Higher Education, since a great deal of learning takes place independently.
Therefore, developing efficient study skills is vital to achieve success on any course, as these skills can help overcome challenges experienced during study, improve performance and help develop motivation. In addition, they can improve confidence and enable students to manage their own learning.
