Study Counselling and Support

Page Content

​D​o you feel overwhelmed by academic demands?

Study Counselling and Support provides assistance to students who struggle with the challenging work load of higher education. Students can access professional support to address matters related to study skills development.

How get assistance:
  • Firstly, make an appointment at your SDS office for individual sessions or study workshops ​depending on the availability of study counsellors).
  • The first session will be an assessment of your study abilities. This is done to identify the areas of concern related to your current study strategies. Together with the study counsellor, you will decide on a plan of action to address these areas of intervention. 
  • The one-on-one study sessions will address the areas of concern. A minimum of four sessions are scheduled but this can be extended, depending on your individual study needs.
  • During the last session an assessment is once again done to determine your progress and additional intervention, if needed.
  • Alternatively, three workshops of one hour each can be scheduled to address the basic principles of study skills development in a group format.
Intervention areas include:
  • Concentration
  • Summarising techniques
  • Motivation and goals
  • Learning styles
  • Note taking
  • Memorising tools
  • SQᴣR method
