Study group
'Studying at home succesfully'

The coronavirus is having a big impact in academic life. Do you have trouble motivating yourself to study at home? Do you lack structure? Are you procrastinating? Then maybe it’s interesting to join the online study group for students of the Faculty of Science in Microsoft Teams.

We meet two times a week. The first meeting takes place at the beginning of the week, in which we discuss the goals you want to set for that week, discuss what obstacles you encounter and exchange best practices. The second session takes place at the end of the week, in which we discuss what you’ve achieved, exchange highlights of the week and discuss problems that have arisen. In between, students plan study sessions during which, they study together.

Practical information

  • 1st session of the week: Mondays at 10 o’clock
  • 2nd session of the week: Thursdays at 15 o’clock
Join here

For the time being, we’ve started with one group. If more students are interested, we will expand. If you are interested, but cannot make it because the times don’t suit you, please send an email to y.pat@uu.nl.

OTHER WORKSHOPS, ORGANIZED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF UTRECHT:

Due to the current situation, all students have to study at home. At home, however, you are much dependent on yourself and therefore it can be more difficult to continue studying effectively. Skills Lab can help you with this, check out our online services.
 

Do you want to learn more skills or do you have time left to develop yourself? Take a look at the range of online courses that are on offer, including adapted studyskills workshops from Educational Consultancy & Professional Development.
Also keep an eye on our site: in period 4 we start with Q&A sessions about studying.

Study Advisor
Every degree programme has its own Study Advisor who is fully informed about the programme’s curriculum. The Study Advisor can answer your questions about the study programme and provide support or recommendations for your studies.

You should also consult the Study Advisor if you are having problems that are affecting your ability to study effectively, such as personal problems, illness or problems with study skills or if you are falling behind.  More information is available on the pages of your degree programme (on 'Advice and counselling').

Tutor
Do you need help with making choices within your degree programme? Are you falling behind in your studies or are you looking for new challenges? Your tutor is the first point of contact. Your tutor is a teacher from your degree programme and teaches first-year classes.

Mentor
Mentors are higher-year students who can answer questions you may have about your degree, the university and Utrecht. Not every programme has mentors, so you should ask your tutor if they are available for your programme.

More information is available on the general page 'Advice and counselling'.

There are many courses in the field of (academic) skills and courses to help you in your academic career. Below you will find a list of all providers:
