Study Success Work Sessions


The Division Student Affairs' Centre for Student Counselling and Development’s Unit for Academic Counselling and Development presents a series of work sessions, aimed at equipping you with skills to reach your academic potential. The series includes:

i-Kit: Our i-Kit work session is aimed at creating awareness of your current study strategies and abilities, in order to obtain the skills and knowledge to adjust, enhance and improve them. Be empowered with a set of skills that help you to critically look at the way you study and how it can be improved to achieve your academic potential.

i-App: Our i-App work session is a mediated self-reflection experience focussed on promoting self-management skills. Be empowered to identify your personal areas of growth. Set your personal and academic goals. Be guided in promoting your health and well-being. The concept of meta-cognition is also explored and applied to effective study techniques, healthy time management and coping skills.

Reading: Our Reading workshop, in collaboration with the Language Centre, to address your reading issues and develop a reading strategy that will lead to academic success. Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the academic demands of your degree programme?  Are you struggling to grasp your learning material and read effectively? Join the three sessions of the reading workshop to address your reading issues and develop a reading strategy that will lead to academic success. 

i-Tick: Our i-Tick work session is aimed at enabling you to become aware of your current time management strategies and to obtain the skills and knowledge to adjust, enhance and improve them. Be empowered with a set of skills that help you to critically look at the way you manage your time and how it can be improved to achieve your academic potential.

i-Steer: Our i-Steer work session is a facilitated learning experience focussed on promoting stress management skills. After this work session, you will be able to understand the biological response to stress, identify the physical, emotional, mental and behavioural symptoms of stress in your life, learn how to make meaning of your body's stress response, practice strategies to utilise stress optimally and recognise when to seek therapeutic support.

i-Prep: Our i-Prep work session aimed at helping you to prepare for the exams. After this work session, you will know more about the different memory techniques, be able to prioritise various tasks during the exam period and be more effective in preparing for the exams before the date, manage yourself better during the exam and utilise coping skills after you have written the exam.
