Program

A recurring part of the meetings is to discuss experiences concerning your study rhythm and to register a specific plan for the following week.
Also learning strategies to deal with this difficult part of your bachelor’s or master’s is a recurring topic.

Conditions to participate

To join the group its obligatory to attend the thesis group every week. These conditions are set in order to get the most out of this training. The conditions are: 

• to attend the weekly meetings on time
• to reflect on study tasks weekly
• to formulate a goal about thesis tasks that you want to achieve every week
• to call or app a fellow student from the group to inquire about his / her study progress every week
• if you can’t attend the meeting: to inform the trainer at least 12 hours before your absence with a plausible reason
• in case of absence: 2 times within 3 weeks you’ll get a warning, in the event that you’re absent again within the following 3 weeks you will be excluded from participation.

Number of sessions

The thesis group consists of 7 sessions with the trainer. After 7 sessions you will understand and recognize (dys)functional patterns in your ow study behavior, and will have learned new tools and tactics to use when studying. By then the group will continue weekly as an independent group without the trainer.

Students can register via the consultation hours of the student psychologists.
