Students helping Students: PTE
Since we are at the beginning of the semester, I’d like to think we’ve started mapping out our study plans, checking out the syllabuses and such. No pressure if you haven’t, but you should probably get to it soon- week 1 becomes week 5 real quick.
The Surgical Society is starting up their programme for the semester next week and in preparation for this, there was an info session yesterday, the 7th of February. I attended it and now I’m back with all the intel.
The Peer Programme at the University is a valuable resource for students, offering support in study tips, social life balance, bureaucracy for international students, and mental health. Students can connect with peers through the website, email, in person, or at events. Be sure to ask questions freely and check emails for responses.
Congratulations on successfully completing the exam period! I hope everyone is having a restful week. The registrations for the new semester have started and I hope everyone is making informed choices about the courses they pick up.
If you’ve failed a semester, it’s important to know you’re not alone. You can either take a passive semester, allowing a break, or activate and continue, but act before February 3, 2024.
