Take control and change the way you approach your studies with this interactive workshop on effective time management. 

We all hear the term ‘well-being’, and are encouraged to look after our mental and physical health. But what is the best way to do this? Find out in this special Student Hub Live event.

​Can you explain your ideas in terms your peers and tutors understand? Improve your academic communication in this interactive workshop, designed to help you maximise your potential. 

Find out how to understand, deconstruct and articulate other people’s ideas, and how to use them to answer questions or arguments in your own work.

Discover the key systems and sources of support that will help you achieve your dreams and reach your goals as an OU student.

Get ready for our Freshers week social evening! Join Rob and Jacob in the ‘SHack of Laughs’ (not to be confused with a similarly named BBC2 quiz show).  Find out about the SHL Team, get your brain working, and get that sense of what it’s like to be part of the OU family!

Learn how to organise essential information effectively and structure essays to ensure that they align with the essay question.

“If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan, not the goal.” Find out how to use effective planning to formulate the best argument to address a set question, structure your points coherently, write effective introductions and conclusions.

“Plans are nothing; planning is everything.” Dwight D. Eisenhower. Planning is not something you just do it is a skill you develop. This workshop will help you to take your essay planning to the next level.
