Start Early

Once you receive your module guide, start planning, work backwards and seek tutorial support early on.

Create a schedule that is inclusive of all aspects of your life. Do not forget your wellbeing and taking time to connect with friends.

Prioritise your workload

Prioritise your tasks- use your timetable and deadline as a guide. Seek out support from your personal tutor for guidance on tasks or any questions regarding your assignment. Do not leave it till it is too late.

Manageable chunks

Break your assignment down into small chunks, make a list, then tick off when completed. It creates a sense of achievement throughout the assignment

Best time for you

Are you a morning person or a night owl, find the best time for study and reflect that in your schedule. Work to your strengths, by being kind to yourself and realistic too, you are less likely to feel panicked towards the deadline
