Being a student can be challenging. Sometimes, the overwhelming feelings can slow down your productivity and make you doubt yourself.

We want to help you overcome those feelings and refocus your mindset (how you view a situation) by:

• getting custom support (one-to-one sessions).
• becoming mentally stronger (live webinars)
• studying smarter (learning behaviour report)

Applications for getting custom support is currently open.

Get custom support: one-to-one sessions

It can be hard to reframe a negative mindset into a positive one so you can deal with the situation. Speaking to a coach may help.

You can get personalised guidance so you can achieve your personal targets over 6 weekly sessions.

Places are limited. Applications are open until Monday 20 January at 11:59 pm (UK time).
