Studying a Master’s degree is a challenging and sometimes difficult experience, but with the right approach and mindset, we can achieve our academic goals whilst enjoying ourselves and making friends along the way.

Spending time with your peers and meeting people outside of class is a great way to take a break from your hard work and studies. I like to hang out at the Warwick Student’s Union, or attend WBS Careers fairs to meet like-minded people chasing a similar goal.

I recommend joining or organising group study sessions with your classmates or other friends, it’s amazing how much we can learn from each other! We discuss our opinions, create mind maps, analyse content from our own perspectives, and it makes the whole process more enjoyable.

As an international student myself, I understand it is challenging learning and improving a different language and settling into a new country. The WBS Masters cohort is hugely diverse, I found almost everyone experiences these struggles to some extent. Talking, learning and growing together every day improves this without doubt – you’re not only helping yourself by reaching out and talking, you’re helping others.

Warwick Business School provides many study spots that are quiet, comfortable, and free from distractions. I enjoy using both the Postgraduate lounge and study space when working on assignments with my peers, and quieter places across campus such as the Library, Faculty of Arts building or Postgrad Hub for solo study.
