The Advice and Counselling Service run ‘Can’t study' workshops for any students struggling with study concerns which might centre on emotional and psychological rather than strictly academic issues.
The workshops are for a small group of students to think together about their study struggles. By the end of the session and after you have had a chance to share lots of thoughts and ideas, you will be asked to share one underlying reason why you might be struggling to study at the moment and one practical strategy that you might find it helpful to take away and try out.
These workshops take place several times each semester. Find out more about the workshop and others run by Advice and Counselling which are open to all Queen Mary students.
The Advice and Counselling Service recently presented some reasons why students may feel they can’t study. Here are some practical strategies that might, hopefully, be of use:
If you need any help with these issues, try attending the 'Can’t study' workshop.
Alternatively, if you feel emotional or psychological issues are adversely affecting your time here at Queen Mary and you would prefer to speak to someone individually, you may want to speak to a counsellor.
Or, if your ability to study or engage with university is affected by practical or financial problems, you may want to speak to a Welfare Advisor.
Good luck with your studies!
