support with academic work

tips to help with keeping on top of your academic work and exams

​

  • contact your tutor: if you have a tutor, contact your tutor and speak to them if you feel comfortable 

​​

  • consider a RAP (reasonable adjustment plan): contact your university about having a reasonable adjustment plan (RAP), some universities have certain guidelines about which students can have these plans

​​

  • think about deadline extensions: if you need to, look into extending deadlines. some universities may let you extend a deadline by a few days without having to provide evidence

 

  • contact your mental health and wellbeing team: you can contact the mental health and wellbeing team at the university to discuss your situation (see our guide on approaching them here)

​​

  • reach out to friends: reaching out to friends on your course could help, you could arrange revision and study sessions together

​​

  • reach out to family: talking to your family may help to relieve some stress and help support you with your university work

​​

  • little and often: if you are feeling that your university work is overwhelming, do a little bit and then take a little break. splitting it into chunks should make it less overwhelming

tips to help concentration

  • do a small task first to ease into studying

​

  • create a study plan for the day/week

​

  • move your devices to another room to avoid distraction

​

  • use the 20-20-20 method when working on a computer (look away every 20 minutes to an object that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds)

​

  • have brain breaks and come away and do a different activity

 

  • stay hydrated as this will help to process and retain information

​

  • listening to music can help some people concentrate
