Time and study management
For many students, especially those with family or work commitments, the biggest question of all is: can I find the time?
University study is usually quite flexible compared with a
full-time job, although childcare and other arrangements will need to be
planned carefully.
Your workload will also vary during the year – several pieces
of coursework may be due at the same time, for example. You’ll know in
advance when your assignments are due and you can access study support
from your lecturer and from the Student Services team.
Making plans
Once you have developed a clear idea of your key activities
and their related tasks you can begin to make plans. A plan or timetable
needs to suit your personal needs.
