BSA Support Programme: Inventory workshop + several options


Inventory workshop

The BSA Support Programme begins with an inventory workshop, during which you will explore where your challenges lie.

Topics covered during the workshop:

  • Study approach: time and planning (Are you studying too little or too much? When do you study most effectively? How do you balance your studies with other activities?
  • Self-care (sleep, nutrition, leisure time, sports and exercise, social commitments, work, other responsibilities
  • Study approach: how you study (effective study strategies and learning techniques)
  • Study approach: how to take an exam (preparing for and completing exams successfully)
  • Are you in the right place? (reflecting on whether your current programme and study choice are a good fit for you.)

After this assessment workshop, you can choose from a range of options. You can choose just one, or you can do them all.
