Effective learning and studying
Hit the ground running each semester and learn the skills you'll need to keep on top of your workload. Discover numerous workshops and guides to help manage your time, study effectively and produce your best work during exams and assignments.
Mental health and wellness
We know university can be a challenging time. If you need support, or just want to be better prepared for the challenges yet to come, UQ offers a range of self-help strategies, counselling services and emotional and mental wellbeing support programs.
Physical health and wellbeing
Looking after your body helps to look after your mind and emotions too. We know not everyone loves the gym, so UQ has social sport, competitive teams, nutritional assistance and fun workshops to help you relax and be social. Put the book down and enjoy the activities on and off campus that uni life brings.
