Many students reach the end of their first module and say that they have developed confidence, but it is possible to feel confident in your learning from day one! In this session we talk to students, module chairs and associate lecturers about how the learning process is designed to enable you to develop your skills and work with feedback. Feeling confident can come from understanding what you need to develop, where you are succeeding, and realising that you can achieve things you might not have thought possible.

This session will focus on how you can take care of your wellbeing and who you can turn to for help and support. We will discuss practical steps you can take to improve your wellbeing, which in turn can improve your studies. We will address how you can take control of your wellbeing, how you can stay connected, ways to manage your time, what to do if you are worried or lack confidence, and, finally, how to look forwards and find motivation for study.
