Trimester 2
Week 3 to Week 8
Looking for a study buddy to keep you on track and motivated with your studies? Why not join one of our Virtual Study Group sessions and connect with other students online.
Our goal is to study smarter not harder so we can all enjoy a balanced work, study and healthy life during the trimester. We set sprint goals, set a timer, and set regular breaks to chat and recharge, so we can get our study done and dusted for the day together. You don't have to study alone online, so why not give it a go.
The study groups are not subject-specific, and no academic advice will be given, but you will have other students to keep you company at different times during the week to suit your schedule.
Session 1
Every Tuesday from 8.30am -10.30am (AEST Sydney time)
Session 2
Every Wednesday from 2pm - 4pm (AEST Sydney time)
