What are Study Groups?
Much more than the name suggests, UTS Study Groups is a 6-week program that introduces you to students starting uni at the same time as you. Each week you’ll meet with an experienced Student Guide for an opportunity to socialise, learn skills that will help you ace your studies, and get advice and insider tips about student life!
So while you won’t actually be opening a textbook, you will be set up with all the tools and connections you’ll need to make the most out of your time at uni.
Program Overview
Study Groups is a 6-week program. Sign up for all 6 weeks to learn all the how-to’s for a successful uni experience.
