Whether you are stating university for the first year in September, or you’re a seasoned student, it’s never too early to start thinking about making the most out of the academic opportunities available. From choosing the right course and getting out of classroom experience, there are a number of things you can do to boost your academic success. But one of the skills that is most crucial is good time management.
Top tips for managing your time for academic success
Managing your time to get the most out of your university experience is crucial for academic success. You should consider:
- Getting to lectures and workshops on time- the most important time keeping skill is being punctual for class. If you’re not on time you are likely to miss things that may leave holes in your knowledge and this can have a damaging impact in the long run.
- Reviewing notes- if you take notes during lectures and lessons make sure to take a little bit of time to review them. Whether you stop off for food, or catch the bus back to your student accommodation, a quick ten minute recap can be a good way to use 10-20 minutes.
- Planning for deadlines- if you have assignments and deadlines looming over you, make sure you plan your schedule. Fit in an hour or two to work on your projects daily and you wont need to find eight hours the day before deadline day. Not only will you create higher standard work, but you’ll also be less stressed too.
- Social time- make sure that you balance your social time with your academic responsibilities to avoid burn out. While it’s important to make great party memories, it’s important that you dont sleep in or skip lessons too.
