The new semester is coming up and we can't wait to welcome you back. A new semester means a new start, and your best results will be achieved when you’re prepared for it! So how can you get ahead?

Check out our top tips below to get ready for your studies.

1. Look after yourself

A healthy body equals a healthy mind. Are you taking care of yourself physically and mentally? Don’t forget, if you need any tips on improving your mental health, you can talk to a member of the wellbeing team or sign up for our student counselling service.

2. Need help? Just ask!

We will support you all the way. We have a team of dedicated experts to guide if you have any questions or worries about your assignments. Or you can sign up for one of our study skills workshops for more specific guidance.

3. Take advantage of our subject librarian

Did you know you have a subject librarian who can supply specialised advice for your course and a 24/7 library chat room?

4. Use LinkedIn Learning

As a UWL student, you have full access to LinkedIn Learning, which is a fantastic way to enhance your skills and knowledge alongside your course. If there’s a skill you’d like to develop, you can do so on LinkedIn Learning.
