Is the new beginning making you stressed or nervous?
Why? Getting back on track with studies can be challenging and evoke a wide range of emotions. Often, we may know how we should act, but putting ideas into practice may be easier said than done. By learning together and sharing experiences, we can take small steps towards a smoother course of studying.
What? The workshops examine the elements that support the progress of studies, such as time management, study motivation and getting things done. There will also be a chance to share study-related feelings and search for one's own resources and fuel for the studies. If you need other support or advice on questions related to returning to studies, we will help you find the right services. The workshop is also open to doctoral students.
When? 29th of September and 27th of October 2026 at 14:00-16:00
Where? Undergraduate Centre, room m145a, Otakaari 1
Who? The group is led by Aalto psychologist Albert Hemmo (albert.hemmo@aalto.fi) and guidance counsellor Janne Mertala (janne.mertala@aalto.fi).
