What is the Study Skills Programme?

Throughout the Study Skills Programme, you will work closely with a coach to enhance your study skills. The training of these skills is directly related to your ongoing studies and learning tasks, ensuring that as you refine your study skills, your academic progress continues.

You have the flexibility to choose the study skills, techniques, and strategies that you wish to develop, in collaboration with your coach. Our coaches, who are final-year special education students, are well-prepared for this role through specialized training.

What does the programme include?

The Study Skills Programme lasts 5 weeks and includes 4 counselling sessions with your coach. You have the flexibility to coordinate the schedules and content of these sessions directly with your coach. In between counselling sessions, you will independently practice study skills and complete small tasks and exercises.

Who is the programme for?

The Study Skills Programme is designed for JYU undergraduate Finnish students seeking to strengthen their study skills. Participation in the programme is entirely free of charge.

When will the next programme start?

The program is on a break during Spring 2024.

I truly hope, on behalf of my fellow students who are struggling with learning challenges, that this programme will continue in the future!
