Studying efficiently
How can you study efficiently? Read our handy tips on how to study efficiently and effectively.
Higher professional education is a little different to what you might be used to. There is more theory, less supervision and perhaps more distraction. You might find it a bit stressful, too. You may have found things pretty easy in secondary education and perhaps you didn't have to do all that much work, but now you’re really going to have to put your nose to the grindstone. How?
You can find out on Studentinfo.
Language skills
Do you find it difficult to write a text with a good structure or do you switch off when reading long texts, struggle to conjugate verbs or grind to a halt when delivering a presentation?
Read on the A-Z List under 'Language Consultation' how you can work on your language skills in many ways, with or without guidance from a language instructor.
Count me in
Maths. Not everyone is good at it. Nevertheless, good maths skills are important for almost every field of study. You may not need to carry out lots of statistical analyses or calculate the load-carrying capacity of a bridge, for example, but having a reasonable grasp of maths will help you to analyse problems and interpret some texts.
