    What is guided studying?

    During the guided study sessions, you study in a group with support from student hosts and specialists. The hosts are trained by student counsellors and student psychologists. The specialists are experts from the Writing CentreExternal link, Methodology Shop, thesis coaches, or information specialists from the Library. Guided studying helps you plan your tasks and start your study day. Studying together provides motivation and prevents procrastination. The sessions contribute to improving your study results and meeting deadlines.

    Four variants:

    1. AD(H)D-friendly study sessions
      Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, 13:00 - 18:30 
    2. Exam sessions
      During exam periods, we offer a focus boost for ten days. From 10:00 to 22:00, including weekends.
    3. Thesis sessions
      From the 2nd semester. Study every Monday with fellow thesis writers. Receive support in finding and citing sources, academic writing, and assistance with methods and statistics.
    4. Summer Study Sprint
      During the summer recess. Catch up on your studies or finish your thesis.

    For whom?

    Guided studying is available for all students who prefer to study together and benefit from extra structure and focus. Whether you are neurodivergent, such as having AD(H)D, autism, or dyslexia, or simply struggle with concentration, you are more than welcome to join. A diagnosis is not required to participate.

    Where can I join guided studying?

    The guided study sessions take place both on-site at the Library and online. In the University Library Singel (room C1.01), a special Focus Room has been set up. Online, you can check in via MS Teams. After registration, you will receive more information.
